hi, ive had my royal for about a month now , she is 7 months old and a nice size(just over 2 feet) and very thick) she is on 1 large mouse every 4 days and takes them no problem whatsoever..
Ive been doing quite a bit of reasearch and it seems that rats are more nutrishious than mice, so im going to try her on them. but my only probelem is that the only fuzzys i can get are quite smaller than the mice she is used too, and the weeners are ALOT bigger... some suggestions would be much appreciated, wether to keep with the mice or try the switch with the smaller fuzzys.

A large Fluff/Fuzzy or a small weaner should be fine. What does your Royal weigh?

try a different supplier? different places grade their mice and rat sizes differently so, just for an example, one shop might sell a 30g mouse as a regular, other places would call it a large............same for rats.
