i bought a batch of mice recently, and the ones called 'medium' looked a bit small, i thought, so i weighed them- they were nearly all 13g, a couple were 14 or 15.
when i weighed the few 'smalls' i had left from the last lot, they were also around 13g.
what's the usual average weight of small/medium mice? i think my supplier nay have got confused/picked from the wrong box |
and you thought there was no such thing as a stupid question....

yeh, i had a feeling that medium should be a tad bigger than 13g- i guess he just picked them out of the wrong section of the freezer-
well, they'll still do as snackettes, i spose, or as dessert for the bigger snakeys when they're feeling particularly greedy  |

just noticed tonight, when feeding the big snakeys, that my so-called 'jumbo' mice ..aren't
and i suspect the 'large' are actually mediums- |
