Do you have strict "feeding days"?

Smaller meals every 4 days on the same day for all - They all eat consistently and never pass up a feeding :rockon:

I don't want to hijack this thread, but I notice that some feed during the morning and others didn't say. As you answer, can you add when you feed if it is a specific time of day? It was my understanding that BPs should eat at night because that is their natural eating time. If others have been successful feeding during the day, that gives me more options. :carrot:

All of mine get feed during the day no specific time here.

No specific time here either, but generally in the morning before I leave :)

My feeding day almost always lands on Sunday. I work Mon-Fri every week and the shop I get feeders from is closed by the time I get off of work. Saturdays are sometimes spent giving everyone fresh water so on Sunday I can usually just drop a meal in each tub and taking care of the snakes is done.

Sometimes I skip a week feeding my Borneo STP. I also have a smaller BP that is now on a more often than once a week schedule, so he eats between Sundays as well. I also have a Blue Beauty ratsnake that I like to feed more often than once a week.

Tuesdays, always--if only because my supplier(a local petstore that's not a chain) gets their pinks and fuzzies on Tuesdays at 1.30. I usually feed, naturally, at 1.40, right when I get home. Sometimes I skip a week, because of work(I work retail, with no set schedule), but the day is always the same, and Siliast seems to have noticed; He's often out and about on Tuesday morning, waiting for feeding time!

normally thursday evenings or friday afternons. depends on the pet stores stock..

Gomez usually gets fed Thursday or Friday, Neptune on Sat, then the rest of them on Sunday. The only reasons those boys are usually fed seperately is for Gomez I like to know somebody's tummy isn't full just for the security of being able to cuddle SOMEbody at any given time, and Neptune used to refuse on a regular basis and I could give his rat to Ma-tsu on Sunday if he didn't eat it. He eats regular now though, so he usually gets a Sunday meal as with the rest of the crew.

yes i do have strict feeding days :chew: ... oh you mean for my snakes? :rofl: well ya i do for them as well. everyone gets fed between tues and thursday. ;)

and the boas get fed two days after they have a nice big poop!
