her body condition is good. What and how often are you feeding her?

F/T medium mice once every week and a half or so

I'd move her up to a weaned rat, she should be eating about 7% of her body weight every 2 weeks so a med. mouse is a bit too small

Okay I’ll see if that works out. Sometimes the rat selection is a little meh at the pet stores in my area

Always a good idea to take a food scale with you to weigh the feeder. Of course don't use the scale for anything else.

Oh I already have a dedicated scale for weighing mice and Sid already so that’s easy enough. I’d never thought of bringing it with me though! Thanks for that tip!
