| Sorry to be a pain again folks. Feels like im forever bothering you people with my questions. It's just that I've picked up some large mice for Floyd and ronnie and they look way too big. They've been on small recently but I've been giving 2 at a time because small mice seemed too small and medium didn't quite seem big enough. Floyd weighs 135g and ronnie 150g. I say the mice look too big but they weigh 27g which is still the recommended 20% of their weight. Do you think these will be ok? |

| I think they'll be fine and as long as the mice are no larger than the fattest part of Floyd's or Ronnie's bodies, they'll be fine with them. |

| They're probably slightly thicker than floyds thickest part, only slightly though, ronnie I think should be ok though, the chunky monkey lol just the Trademark skinny necks concern me. I think they should be ok. Just need a bit of reassurance :) |

| If in doubt. Don't. Wait a few more weeks. I'm having the same problem at the moment with a large weaner. Oscar eats extra large mice and he's quite chunky now but I'm still afraid of giving him a rat, lol. You've got to be happy with yourself I reckon. |
