    Feeding Question . . .
    My male Atlas weighed in at 516 grams today. I have been feeding him
    one F/T rat pup every 5th day. The rat pups are about 26-28grams.
    If I go to the 10-15% of body weight, he should be getting a 50gram rat.
    I feel this would be too big in girth for him.

    Should I offer him 2 rat pups at each feeding? Total weight of 52-56grams?
    I really don't want to waste the rat pups as I still have about 15 remaining.

    Thanks in advance!!!

    PS After I feed him and he swallows, he seems to be looking for more.

    He is now an aggressive feeder after not eating for the 1st month
    after I got him.

    I would just feed 2 rat pups ever 5-7 days until you run out and then bump up to a weaned/small rat.
