According to my supplier, medium mice weigh 20g approx; rat fluffs (fuzzies) 19g approx.

However suppliers vary, so best to check with them.

I would have said a rat fluff too though he may be OK with a small weaner (behave) there is a guide on here about snake weight to rat weight though I just go off the thickness of the snake. I'm pretty sure Duke would have a bash at swallowing a wilderbeast as long as it was in his bowl.

0h yeah, forgot, BE's feeding guide - 10/15% of snake's bodyweight, snake under 400g feed every 5 days, 400-800gm feed every 7 days, sorry my supplier does not give weights of wildebeest lol

Yes, he could take a small rat weaner though these are 37g approx and 10/15% of Zac's bodyweight is 30g, sort of falls between two stools, rather like Sanke's heat mat lol

Yep, I've managed to shift the smell of slow fried Boaturd from the room with a large bowl of lavender oil.
