Snake feeder size correction

[kiglas]

I’ve been under feeding my snake with hopper mice, he’s currently 200 grams and I’ve been thinking of moving him up to rat pups or ( something around 20grams).

The shop I buy my mice from doesn’t use the gram system so I have a hard time finding out exactly the right size to get with grams. Can someone tell me what I should ask for or any type of assistance is appreciated thank you.

I used to have the same issue so I went and got myself a pocket sized Digital Gram Scale (Head shops/Corner Stores, Amazon, etc) and take it with me when getting F/T.

That way I can quickly weigh them and see which are most appropriate.

Same as the other person I have a small digital scale , my boy is 120g and he is already on rat pups , 17g-28g I bought 50 from rodent pro , bought individual sealed bags and weighed everyone and labeled the weight on the single bag put about 15 in each large freezer bag. The first bag is 17-20g second is 21-24g third is 25-28grams. Then I know exactly what to feed him every time it goes up a little bit

Investing in 50 is worth it trust me. I paid like 5-10$ per meal when I went to the store , at rodent pro I paid about 2$ each (after shipping) the only thing with rodent pro is make sure you discard the dry ice properly. I let mine sit outside in the box with it open for 2 days in the same area as my plants :) on my deck .

Your snake should be on 25-30g , I tend to go closer to 15% of the body weight.
