Food Size Upgrade, but what?

Pinky rats no longer make a lump in my coastal carpets stomach, so what is the next size up?
Everything I have looked at in pet shops is either too small or too big, all they have is pinky mice and adult rats
will i just have to keep giving give her a few pinky rats instead of one sufficient sized rodent?
Thanks for the help.

Buy some juvenile (weaner rats) from a breeder if you can. They should be good. Maybe even a couple of fuzzies?

If anyone is on the sunny coast do they know of any pet shops (or breeders) that have all sizes all or most of the time
Thanks.

might be worth breeding for yourself if you cant get any! stock up the freezer then get rid of them.

For one snake...
I guess i could for a bit and then stop when i got enough to last me till the next food size upgrade...
thing is my dog is crazy about rats and gets so hyped up he vomits every where until he kills it.. lol
he did that with my pet rat a few years ago... and he got him
Not really suitable for me to breed just yet i think
