    Smaller meals more often on a 5 day schedule will keep him eating throughout the year better and more consistent.

    Just limit it to 2 mice a week or a wean rat per week

    Mr.s never heard of that one before. I will take richsballs advice and feed her 40 grams per feeding. Thanks

    :confused: That's one I've never heard before. (I thought I'd heard them all by now! LOL) Where did you learn that?

    Never heard that before either - I fed mice exclusively to my entire collection before I started to breed - raised up babies to full adults on mice, never had the mice sitting in their throats...:confused:

    I used to feed smaller meals, but I've gradually moved to larger meals for my kiddos, and still get consistently feeding critters.

    ....... I seem to think I found it on this site.
    I don't have the time right now, but I will take a look later and see if i can find it. (Don't want to be spreading fibs around here).
