I got large mice and they didn't even leave a slight bump, they were smaller than the larges I was given by the previous owner. do u think he looks a bit overweight in this pic? or is he just big boned? or am I just comparing him to baby Emmy maybe lol?

Goldusts are a Hybrid animal- a cross between Grey Ratsnakes and Cornsnakes, with the caramel gene thrown in. |

who said hybrid .. im confused |

Yeah.. I know he's a hybrid and all, but he's still plump. Get him on those stairs |

Haha! Cool. I tried weighing him but i only have silly scales and the tub he fits in doesn't balance properly on the scales! So i'm not sure, but scales were jumping around anything from 670g upwards.
He's 4ft5. (definate length, measured him with tape measure couple of weeks ago, took my opportunity when my friend was holding him and he was nice and still ) |

I echo Manda's thoughts.. 2-3 weeks sounds good. Large's every 3 weeks if that's all you have. How much does he weigh just out of interest? And how long is he? |

Sounds like a great idea |

I just bought 10 large mice lol! Would it be ok to feed the large say every 3 weeks till i run out? If not i can always get some mediums, just a shame to waste them.
He's out for a handle almost every night for around an hour or so (except 48hrs after feeds), but i have to say he is very lazy! Likes cuddling up in my sleeve! Will def get him on the stairs more :) |

Personally I'd put him down to a medium every 2-3 weeks, and get him out for lots of exercise up and down the stairs is a great idea, and just general handling too gets those muscles moving! |

Does it not? I see, I didn't know this! He was getting fed once a week by previous owners (and i reckon on jumbos after having seen large i bought) so this would explain his size! I've been feeding him one large every 2 weeks.
Should i continue with a large every 2 weeks? |

How often are you feeding him? And once adult I don't think the bump rule applies x |
