Hi guys
got my first royal today. Apparently shes 12 weeks old, just weighed her and she weighs 71 grams. Now the bloke in the pet shop said to feed her mice pinkies, but from reading a few care sheets and forums rats are always seeming to be recommended as better. So when I got to get her food what should I be asking for? Rats or mice and what size?
Also a couple of pics what do you think?

mouse pinkies are too small

Nice looking royal, i would say rat pups. Mouse pinkies are definitely too small.

Just to say that I have never multiple fed Royals, however, I suppose I am lucky as one of my local Rep shops does sell Rat Fuzzies.
