Sizes of rats

[tbtusk]

I'm thinking of moving one or both of my corns up to small rats. They are both currently eating adult mice and are both at adult proportions.

How big is the next size up from adult mice (a.k.a. some sort of rat)?

I might be ably to post picks in a little while.

I moved my adult.. not exactly sure of the age, but got her as a sub adult in 03, so at that time I fed her live mice(which is what the store fed her), I moved her to small rats about a yr ago.. live first, but now I feed her f/t small rats, I think the live ones were bigger but the f/t'd i'm also happy with.....i also have a baby on pinks and can't wait till they are on the same food items to order online and save some money

I thought I'd follow up in this thread with another quick question.
I've heard that rat's are more nutritions for snakes that mice.

Does this go to the point that it is better to be feeding a rat pinky rather than an equally sized mouse fuzzy?
