Hokay, so I got a scale and weighed Abbey. She is 175g. Which, on the Munson Plan chart, puts her in the adult mouse category. Now, I know that it is just a suggested method, but it was alarming to me that I am currently feeding Abbey hoppers (~10g) every 6 days because shes just not big enough around to eat an adult mouse. Now I could see her maybe eating weaned. but definitely not adults. The reason this is such a deal to me is that I have noticed a change in her habits. She has been much more active lately, and it looks like shes "looking for something". Now, this could be a complete figment of my imagination, but....eh.
That said, here is my new feeding plan. Let me know if you disagree.
I currently have about 15-20 hoppers in the freezer. I plan to feed her a hopper every 4th day until they're gone, and, by then, she will probably be big enough to eat adults. At which point, I will start buying adults and feed her once a week.
Any thoughts? :noevil:
