Hello!
Either you have not registered on this site yet, or you are registered but have not logged in. In either case, you will not be able to use the full functionality of this site until you have registered, and then logged in after your registration has been approved.
Registration is FREE, so please register so you can participate instead of remaining a lurker....
Please note that the information requested during registration will be used to determine your legitimacy as a participant of this site. As such, any information you provide that is determined to be false, inaccurate, misleading, or highly suspicious will result in your registration being rejected. This is designed to try to discourage as much as possible those spammers and scammers that tend to plague sites of this nature, to the detriment of all the legitimate members trying to enjoy the features this site provides for them.
Of particular importance is the REQUIREMENT that you provide your REAL full name upon registering. Sorry, but this is not like other sites where anonymity is more the rule.
Also your TRUE location is important. If the location you enter in your profile field does not match the location of your registration IP address, then your registration will be rejected. As such, I strongly urge registrants to avoid using a VPN service to register, as they are often used by spammers and scammers, and as such will be blocked when discovered when auditing new registrations.
Sorry about all these hoops to jump through, but I am quite serious about blocking spammers and scammers at the gate on this site and am doing the very best that I can to that effect. Trust me, I would rather be doing more interesting things with my time, and wouldn't be making this effort if I didn't think it was worthwhile.

How many mice do you feed your Rosy?
This is assuming the Rosy is adult sized.

I've got a couple rosies. I just give them one appropriately sized meal a week. The baby gets a fuzzy and my 1+ year old gets a hopper - weaner size.

I've found that rosies in particular don't do well with large prey items. I've got one right now but have had several in the past. The one I've got now is about 4 years old and maybe 26". He can eat three med. mice although he generally stops at two. On occasion I have retired breeder mice and he won't even try to eat the big ones.
Smaller sized and more of them as far as prey items seems to be better. I've also had some babies that would regurge a fuzzy but not pinks. I think sometimes the hair irritates them when they are small. I've also had problem adults, ones that start refusing mice, fire right up on rat pinks.

Do rat pinkies work better than rat hoppers?

I do the opposite. I feed most of my adult Rosys 1 jumbo mouse every 2 weeks.
Like stated, some Rosys don't handle large meals too well and will regurgitate them. These I feed 1 normal mouse or 2 baby quails a week. But I do have a big mainland, albino Whitewater and a wild-caught WW that are able to handle baby chicks w/o any problems, I just twist the wings off to aid swallowing. They digest the chicks really quick but their stool is more watery than normal(I hope this isn't a problem).
