    Poll: If you feed once a week... What day do you feed on?
    Okay so here is what I have been thinking about..... When I first got all of my baby girls last year I was feeding them every five days. As they have begun to grow and some started refusing meals I bumped it up to every six days. And here pretty soon I will be going to every seven days. So it got me to thinking ??what day should I choose to feed on every week?? Well I was thinking that either Saturday or Sunday would be easiest. But then I would not be able to interact with them as much because I work a nine to five. So I'll probably just try to do it during the week so that I will have all weekend to handle them.

    So.... For those of you that feed once a week.

    What day do you feed on?

    I only feed on the weekends. I prefer to feed on Sundays, but if I have something going on after church, I'll feed on Saturday.

    It used to be Tuesdays now it is Saturdays since I get my rats from a new supplier. I get my rats Saturday night and feed Saturday night...

    This is actually the first time I have ever heard of this.

    Where did you read this?

    I have always thought that it was best to get a set routine.

    And this is one of the reasons I am leaning towards the weekend. Gives me more time to get food if needed and also time to thaw out micecles.

    I feed mine every 7 to 10 days, so it's always on a different day. I have fed them on all of the above I guess. :D

    I feed my snakes on Tuesdays, just because that's when I get back from my dad's and when I get home after school my mom normally has the rats and mice all ready for me in the freezer.

    I feed Saturdays. Just because that's my chill time. I like to handle on Thursday and Friday. Feed sat. Frozen adult mice for all but one of my bps!
