Hi there,
I really don't think it will do that much harm as long as
It's short term just until you have used them up.
I'm doing the same at the mo my chap weighs 940
the last meal I offered him was 72 gm I only have
a few of that size left then will get the next size up.
I used to use frozen direct maybe not the cheapest on delivery
but were always reliable. The reason I don't anymore I found a local
shop that does pick your own which is much better for me as I can get every single
rat the size I want.

They are small when looking at the 10-15% guide but it wont do any harm, too big is the 'poor' way. Use up what you've got and then move up to a slightly larger rat.

There's a new frozen food supplier called prklivefoods. Cheapest i have seen ratties anywhere! £6 for 10 weaners! I'm paying £8 for 5 at my local rep shop. Check them out.
