Does anyone else get confused about sizes of frozen mice. Given comments of forum threads i've read the ones my pair are having appear small. Only information i have say they have been having adult mice. Any advice ?

most mice/rats are sized by weight as standard these being pinkie fuzzy/fluff small medium large jumbo ex breeder etc

the problem is a small mouse is between say 8-12g so thats a 3rd bigger in weight differance for that size

maybe they ran out so they just waxed a normal mouse lol!

seriously tho, i seem to get very mixed sizes. most places have pinky,fuzzy,small,med,large,small rat, med rat and so on but when i ask for 4 medium mice, 2 large, 2 small and 3 pinkies, the only ones i can ID are the pinkies! the rest all look the same to me!
