Well my Mojave is starting to grow a bit, she is now up to 101g, and I was told to give her roughly 14% of her body weight in food, but the food I have is only going to be about 10% of her body weight, and as I can't get to the reptile shop for a few days, should I cut a mouse in half and give her one and a half, or just give her a 10%ish meal to her body weight, then up it when I can get to the reptile shop?
As they are only mice and not as nutritious as rats, I don't want to under feed her, but at the same time, don't want to over feed either.

When on the Forums, always be nice, stick to the rules and help when you can.

just give her what you have, a meal of 10% will be fine, worst case you bring the feeding date forward a day next time
