fuzzy rats as soon as possible, which should have been what the breeder started them on

Could any hatchie actually eat a fuzzy rat? Seems way too huge considering pinky rats are still slightly bigger then fuzzy mice.

started all mine on them. you dont want a diamond stuck on mice....

I think a fuzzy mouse is plenty big enough for a hatchie diamond, fuzzy rat is huge, too much stress on the developing organs imo. ive never had one I couldn't get onto rats when ready, just rub a mouse on the rat and bingo

Diamonds should be kept lean and definitely not fat feeding should be 10-15% body weight no more.

Good to hear she has settled guys and just a little jealous you have been struck. I still have not yet been bitten, only ever been bitten by beardies and turtles lol
