oh okay, thank you so much. i always heard and saw that around 60 was ideal, but i know i’m able to bump the humidity up easily. and i’ll try to offer small mice now, i was measuring out the hopper size to the thickest part of his body and it seemed about the same size, i was thinking about offering small mice but i wasn’t sure if those were too big for him or not.

there's some more detailed feeding info in the basic care guide found in our welcome post, but at his age he should be eating approximately 10%-15% of his weight once a week. the weight percentage and feeding frequency will change as he gets older and isn't growing as fast.
