average size of a maccie?

[kerry]

Hi,
My maccie is now a year old, and I am wondering how big she should be. She's about 1m long and about as thick as my thumb. I would love to know how big others of the same species and age are and also what they are eating.
Cheers,
Kerry

Hi Kerry,
My blonde mac is a year old now too.
She's about 70cms long and weighs 70grms.
On average every 10 days she gets an 8-10grm fuzzy mouse, and usually puts on about 4-5grms after each feed.

I too would like to compare this with other macs of the same age... keep posting please people

Good to know she's not too small then, I must just be impatient to find out how big she is going to get At the moment she is eating pinkie rats (the pet shop was out of decent sized mouse fuzzies last time) and I am keen to get her back on the fuzzies

I think macs top out at 1m 40cm ish...
That's what I'm prepared for anyway...

My Maccies are as follows:
1 year old
Approximately 70 to 80 cm
#1 = 152g
#2 = 148g
#3 = 150g
#4 = 136g
They are eating 4 x Fuzzy mice each every 10 -12 days with the occasional pinky rat thrown in too

how much do you think a pair of maccs would cost?

 

[Magpie]

Wow, my stimmies are not quite one yet and are about 60-70cm long and weigh over 300g. They eat weaner - small rats once a week to once a fortnight.
Guess I'm a power feeder after all.

LOL Maggie

I'm begining to think I under feed, but the vet checked her and my records a few months ago and thought all were good... I guess it's just horses for courses, she seems to be happy but maybe I'll chuck her a few extra ones over summer.

my childrns and stimson are 1 and they eat about 3 pinkie mice every 3 weeks and there about 45 cm long

My 2 1/2 year old mac is 1.16m and weighs 383g. He has a fuzzy rat about once a week.

My macs go around
Male 4yrs-1.5-1.6m
Female 4yrs-1.5m
Female 6yr-1.6m
Male 2yrs-1m and the thickness of a thumb(sold now)
All eat fortnightly.
Need to weigh them too.
