Healthy weight for a rat?

Question

anyone know what a healthy weight for a male rat is? i want to weigh one of my male rats, but im not sure if hes heavy enough to give a reading on the scales

Answer 1

About 400g to 750 g for a fully grown male rat.

Try using kitchen scales :-)

Answer 2

you should be able to tell if he is healthy by looking at his body,... is he fat, skinny ect,... idk the weight,...ive never thought of it! lol

Good Luck! ☺♥♥☺

Answer 3

"Adult bucks usually weigh 400-700g, does around 200-500g."  http://www.quite.co.uk/rats/#Growth%20an...

You'll need a produce scale or something that measures in grams.  Another option is to see if your local vet would mind quick weighing your rat for free.  A normal scale you'd find in a bathroom doesn't have the correct granularity to be helpful.

Hope that helps!
