    Feeding question??
    I know my balls should be eating 17 - 20% of their weight but how would that break down?
    I mean, I know its okay to do it all in one feeding per week BUT can it be split in half and do two feeds per week?
    I am asking because Dozzer seems to be "hunting" about 3 days after feeding fridays.

    I would not feed any closer than 5 days apart. either feed him every 5 days, or feed a bigger prey item when you feed. They need at least 5 days to digest their meal.

    What kind of prey are you feeding? How big is the prey item?

    mice have been small by me lately so Hendrix is getting 2 mice at a time and that seams to be sustaining him just fine back to feeding once a week instead of every 5 days

    Right now Dozzer(300g) is getting 2 adult mice, Lynn(120g) and Huggie Bear(130g) are getting one adult mouse and one fuzzy (tried rats but no one would take).
    The girls are okay but Dozzer starts hunting a couple days later.
    I have tried to give him 3 f/t but he will not take a 3rd. The first one is down quick and he is waiting for the second and hits it hard but doesnt want anything to do with a 3rd at all.
