| Hi guys I went to the freezer this morning to get the ratcicle out and completely forgot I'd ran out so a kwick dash was in order lol, only thing was they only had small rats and no weaners left so I bought the small rats as they looked no wider than Cerb, anyway when I got them home I weighed him and them now since Cerb did a poo a couple of days ago I know he's empty and weighs about 507g (the little sod wouldn't stay still lol) and the rat is about 97g which is as good as 20%of his weight but since it's no thicker than his widest part would it be ok? |

LOL I'd chance it - sounds fine, especially as to the girth thing. 20 extra grams is nothing at that size imo. I had the same dilemma the other day when I got mixed up over XL weaners/small rats; Saada refused anyway so Buffy the gannet (who's HUGE and the girth rule was okay) scarfed it down and all was well. |

| Duke eats upto 20% no problems, I aim for 15% but its hard getting them perfectly on the mark, I'd say the main thing is the rat is no fatter than them. Just dont sit watching you'll be a nervous wreck. |

| Was just as nervous with flo but found a source of smaller small rats, but its good to know that that little bit of extra stretch is possible! |
