question on Big Cheese Rodent size

[mattsnake]

Could a corn eating 2 adult mice comftorably be moved up to medium rats? Are big cheese rodent rats very big?

 

[MegF.]

What size adult mice? Small, medium, or large?

"adult mice"

I have some labeled "medium mice" and they are smaller than adult mice, so adult mice are probably the "large mice" that you speak of.

Im cornfused now

I am too, because I feed small adults plus a hopper to my amel. I had purchased medium adults, but they just seemed a little too big for her. I'm saving them for when she runs out of the smalls and hoppers.

So do you think a corn around 57" could take a Big Cheese Rodent medium rat?:eats02:

does anyone know?oke:

I don't see why not. It depends on the width of the snake too. If the rat is more than 1-11/2 times the width, I'd go one size smaller. I actually used the snake measurer program to measure the width of one of the medium mice, and my snake to see how big it was compared to her. It was within the limits, but she seemed to really work to eat it, so I went back down in size and just fed her an extra hopper.

An adult mouse weighs roughly 25-30 grams. When I was raising rats for my boa constrictors, my weanlings weighed around 75 grams, and medium rats were around 250 g. But I have no idea what the size of a Big Cheese medium rat is.
