hi guys, without buying any rats and taking them home, all i can do is ask on here Smile

here is a pic of the female in question



i know she has been feeding on large mice, so i didnt know if it was an idea to get some weaner rats and give her a go on them, i can buy just one and see how i get on, but i dont want her to take an item too big for her

let me know what you all think

as Ross said she'll be fine, she won't attempt it if it's too big (normally). It may be worth trying on a mouse sized rat first though just so the size AND new smell doesn't scare her off, then once fed on one increase the size.
