45-50 gram weaner rat to big.....?
hello everyone pretty much as it says above my 4 month old royal recently was moved onto small weaner rats by the advice of my local reptile shop so any way he's eaten 2 weaner rat's but he's mist 2 as well is he ready for a weaner and by the way his weight ranges between 201-209 grams for some reason it went up when he didn't eat anything so then any help will be appreciated this is my first royal and i just ent to sure about the weaners being that big.

Well considering your country I would expect better english in your post. Very difficult to read to say the least.
As for your question. Thats fine. Not too big.

What country is the OP from? All I see is a union flag which could be England, Ireland or Scotland and therefore English may not be their first language   
Glad he ate for you snake_ghost

Re: 45-50 gram weaner rat to big.....?
How often are you feeding? Its possible that with a larger prey he is not hungry as often, i feed mine every 14-21 days

Re: 45-50 gram weaner rat to big.....?
You don't have to apologise for your English. It's a snake forum not an english lesson. So what if you don't use full stops. I read it fine. Yes that seems fine I feed mine every 14days

Re: 45-50 gram weaner rat to big.....?
Terranaut that was fairly rude.. Not everyone has a good education and can read or spell well.
Snake_ghost just offer prey slightly larger than the widest part of your royal. I don't weight my prey so I am unsure of the weight. When you start feeding larger prey you snake can go longer periods without wanting to eat. Its ok, just offer every 2 weeks instead of every week if he refuses a few times.

I wasn't being rude. I thought it was tough to read. I answered the question just the same. Sorry if you were insulted. Periods work wonders.

Re: 45-50 gram weaner rat to big.....?
Eh...I'd agree. I know it's not an "English lesson" but some basic grammar and spelling helps those who have to read it. If you're online, I expect as such.
Not at anyone in particular but overall.

Spelling I don't care about. Sentences with periods to break it up is all I ask of people. If you can figure out how to maintain humidity and temps for a royal, you should be able to hit the "." key whenever you need to take a breath. I didn't mean to offend the op , but I found it funny that the British guy had bad english.
