What size food?
Dezra is 7 1/2 months old. She has been getting F/T Rat Fuzzies, but I am having trouble getting them in my area. All the pet stores close to me don't carry rat fuzzies, the smallest rats they have are pups.
Do you think she is big enough for Rat Pups?

Re: What size food?

Re: What size food?
Carpets can take pretty big prey items compared to their size, my 18 month old JCP takes the same size rats as my SD Retic.

Re: What size food?
Just feed Dezra a rat pup. I was a little worried at first, because she still seems so small, but she took it no problem!
