Im new here and just had a look at the sticky "Snake Weight by age"... Long story short, My CB11 (now 14 months) is 40" @ 1300g. He's in perfect health but after seeing that post im thinking he's a bit fat now

Opinions please

Yeah he looks ever so slightly due a poop in that picture. Weigh him again after he releases that demon.. Weight to length suggests he is on the heavier side of the scale but until they are empty they can be misleading as you are weighing everything they have eaten since they last went to the toilet and that also tends to make them look a bit chunky at the dirty end.

I'd make sure you're feeding the right sizes first

Ok should i do anything in particular, longer between feeds? or just carry on as usual lol i worry too much haha!

Tail tip tells me he's a little chunky :)

the small w/rats i give him are generally 90-110 grams but the next size up (large weaners) are a bit big for him i think. I got him one and he really looked like he was struggling with it, so I thought I'd wait a bit before giving him another.

typical lazy royal then.
what weight are the weiner rats?
going by the 10-15% rule i would be feeding him rats that are 130g+ every 2 weeks
BenjiBoo Posted - 07/12/2012 : 23:02:02
He has f/t small weaner rat every 2 weeks, but he is mega lazy and decide he is not hungry for the last 6 weeks
chrisc Posted - 07/12/2012 : 22:48:37
he looks fine to me
how often/what size rat do you feed him?
