That's just my practices in a nutshell.

Oh, and I'm breeding, so this is a heavier feeding schedule than people who keep bps for pets would do.

This is pretty much as i thought for breeding purposes
But pet feeding is also what i thought it would be

I suppose some look at it as power feeding but hey thats up to them

Thanks all for the input

Under 300 grams get fed every 5 days. 300 grams and up every 7 days.

under 500 grams gets every 4-7 days

under 1000 grams gets every 7 days

From then on, females get fed every 7 days, and males get fed every 10-14 days. Males make much more consistent breeders if they're more trim and less overweight.

It's important to note prey size. I don't feed small meals.

These are also general guidelines I use for myself. I'll switch things up for individual animals based on their appearance, activity/apparent hunger, breeding cycle/putting on weight after laying eggs, and if they've come off of a food strike.
