Having just got home from the RepX expo in Brisbane, I was looking at some of the snake food information I picked up (2 main ones which were extensive price lists). Curiously, I noticed that each had a different "definition" of what each size feeder was. This was mainly in the frozen mice, but could also be seen in some extent in the frozen rats.
e.g. Company 1 classifies fuzzie mice as 3-6g. Company 2 would list something that weight as a pinkie. This continues up with all the sizes. Weaners are the only category with some similarities (13-18g vs. 15-19g).
Is there any real predefined measure of sizing which could be used to standardize something like this? I know when upsizing food myself, going from pinkies to fuzzies would seem logical, but if you changed supplier, the actual size of the food could be the same or smaller depending on each individuals classification system.
I mean no criticism, just pure curiosity on the matter.
