    Male Feeding

    I was wonder how much do others feed there males.

    I've been feeding my 07s 1 mouse a week and they both weight around 500 grams. They also gain around 50-60 grams a month. I know they will eat more, but since I'm not in a rush to get there weight up and I rather not spend the extra money on food if I don't need to. I was thinking of switch them to 2 mice soon (maybe around 700 grams).

    All my 07 female all eat small rats and gain between 125-200 grams a month.

    I feed my 07 male a med. Adult ASF once a week.
    He's about 400g.

    I feed my 06/07 male (bought him at a pet store and he could either be from late 06 or early 07) a small rat every 10 days. He's like 1500g.

    Yeah I feed on about the same schedule. The big girls I've got get fed one good sized meal every 7 and the younger BPs all get fed every 5-6 days.
