Definately not a MD. Maybe the person that sold her to you really didn't know much about MD's.
Cheers, Dan

We NEED to get these patterns happening! striped, bands, RP. high silvers. So much hidden potential I think.

After feeding my MD on the weekend and using his last fuzzie rat, I thought I would upsize his food from next feed on, I went to the same shop I have been getting food from since I have had him and they were out of weaner rats, ok he doesn't need a feed until the weekend no stress, called around, found a reptile shop that had some, had someone pick them up for me and they were bigger than hopper rats, huh, called another shop today, yes we have plenty, got there and the same thing, they were huge, ok so I had to pass the usual shop to get home so I thought I would stop in to see if they had any rats arrive, well they had some, but not weaner rats, so I am looking trough the freezer and I find a bag of nice sized rats labelled fuzzies, I held that up to another bag labeled fuzzies and the were somewhat bigger, they are between a fuzzie and a hopper so I snapped them up, it appears as though there is a wide interpretation of feed size and what they are labeled as, I'll get some pics of Bundy eating on the weekend of the next size food

Food is usually labelled based on what $$ can be made from them in my limited experience with pet shops (and not necessarily the pet shops fault...as they are often labelled by the supplier who supplies them).

I have recently changed to picking food by weight and not labelling. If I know I need a 100g rat, I buy a 100g rat - the label becomes irrelevant. The problem is the rats are getting smaller and the labelling getting bigger...resulting in paying more for a smaller rat. I recently bought a 'medium' labelled rat that was barely heavy enough to qualify as as small rat in my opinion......but it was priced as a medium!!

Hopefully my days of needing to buy at pet shops is nearing an end.

Thought I would upload a pic of my little guy (the fussy eater out of the two).

Finally got him eating consistently after having many episodes of being hit and miss with Mice/Rats, or just not having a bar of them for months on end...
He took his first week-old Quail (around 35g) tonight. Tried five days ago, but he attempted eating it backwards and gave up half way through.
Couple of feeds before that he was taking two day old Quail at a time. Offered three, must have been too much though. Never took the lucky third.

He is around 150g now and 80cm. His sister is 1.15kg and 5ft. Massive difference. Both are 15 months old.

PS: I normally upload files from my phone/pc and it auto resizes them when uploading to here.
But tonight it wouldn't do it so I had to host the pic on and image hosting site and link from it.
Anyone else have troubles similar to this lately?

she is beautiful, how old is she and how big?

 

[Baturb]

I fed Bundy tonight and I think I may have underestimated how big he is getting, he had no trouble eating the large fuzzies, may have to go bigger

 

[Bart70]

Some pics of my MD I got recently (from a site member). She has a lovely temperament and is a much loved member of the family. These were taken one afternoon when I took her outside for some play time.

 

[Tobe404]

Not the best since it's from my phone as usual but here ya go.

The girl (good feeder) out of the two. Shed on the 18th.

Further to my post yesterday, I took some pics of my MD's playtime (and poo-time!) this morning on the front lawn. I also downloaded the pics of her feeding last week. Enjoy!
