how often do you feed your BP?

I feed on a 10 day schedule.

I usually feed my girl every friday, or every once in awhile on saturday. i just picked up a baby pastel sunday, idk when he last ate but today he seemed really really active so i figured he might be hungry, i fed him and he calmed down. but i try for every friday/sat.

Depends on the sex, depends on the time of the year and depends on the age

Holdbacks are fed every 4 to 5 days up until they reach 500 grams

Animals over 500 grams are fed every 7 days or every 5 days

Males who get prey items no larger than 55 grams (regardless of their size) are fed every 7 days year round.

Females are fed every 7 days most of the year and get on an heavier schedule (every 5 days) starting in late September early October.

It's really up to you, it has worked with my animals. I simply try to feed the girls more while they still eat to put on some extra weight on them before they start to fast. It might work for you, all you have to do is try and see.

There are many ways to do things the best to do what works with your collection :gj:

Every Wednesday!
They are offered prey and records are kept if they eat.
Some of them dont eat every single week, but some dont miss a feeding :)

my younger bps tend to go every 5-7 days and the older or bigger bps tend to go 7-10...only since they get bigger feeders then the babies do i guess they get full and dont want to even think about striking....the younger ones tend to eat like little pigs.

Small one hatchlings to about 300g I feed every 3-4 days. And I can tell they want it. My female spider is today day four and she is out of her cave looking straight at me and demanding food. Guess what I will be doing tonight... :)

Bigger than that I try every 5-7 days. I have one stubbornly eats on the 7th day no matter what. Bigger about 700g+ every 7 days. I only have one this size and the rats I ordered online (frozen) are a bit small for her so I have been offering one every 4-5 days. No problem. She's enjoying this. I should post a pic she hit one on the side of her feeding box. Here it is, mind you this is rat number two. Apparently she's hungry :)http://i1106.photobucket.com/albums/...th/photo61.jpg

The second this time was a refusal from another one of my balls that is picky eater so I didn't want to throw it out so I offered it to her after she had her regular meal.... "no problem mum, I take care of it" she says..

Once a week.
