Boo, baby royal, is 10 weeks old. I have some pictures of her in the photo section under the folder "baby boo".
She is 18" long and she weighs about 130g last time i weighed her.
she is on two mice fuzzies a week which weigh 11g, and this week she had 3 so i think they are a bit too small for her
if you check out the pictures could you possibly tell me what food i should be feeding her. I am guessing rat fuzzies every 5 days but i would rather other advise before hand

thanks

Yes, large Rat pups or small Rat fuzzies would be about right.

Even from hatching a Royal will never need a meal as small as a mouse fuzzy.

ok thanks.
my mum keeps annoying me by saying that the mouse fuzzy looks huge to her, but i told her that they eat bigger than it looks
i knew that she should be on something bigger because after Boo swallows the mouse there isnt even a lump in her body
so thanks a lot

Yup, my wee girl is the same age and length but is a wee bit heavier as I have her on the right size of food. You wanna be feeding her about a 13-19gram meal. Thats 10-15% of her weight which is the right amount.

Oh aye, and shes on rat fluffs/fuzzies/furries/cosies/silly's/too many names for the sameses
