I was wondering if anyone could give me a rought guide as to how much a 3 month old royal should weigh and how long he should be. I am feeding small mice every 5 days under the instruction of the pet shop owner. Is this right or do you guys do anything different?

100-200g probably.

How much does he weigh?

Would recommend Rat Pups or small Rat Fluffs/Fuzzies if possible.

HI BE i have just weighed him and he is 92g. I have enquired about ordering some rat fluffs to get him onto rats asap. Still thinking that every 5 days is the future?

Just weighed him for a second time and he is up to 107g. Is this too much of a weight gain for 5 days? Could it be that he will off load a slab and he could drop loose some weight again?

No, that's not a problem.
