I think most of you guys are feeding until full. (almost any snake will eat until full.)

but then there is power feeding!

That is animal abuse IMO. Its tards like this that will get reptiles banned as pets. A breeder should know better.

Second that, Johan. Guy should know better, to say the least...welfare of the animal doesn't seem to be his top priority, to say the least!

I really think it depends o nthe species. Balls, I don't think can be power fed. I offer prey whenever I open the tub and the animal "acts" interested. In the breeding season they may eat 4x a week (adults). hatchlings are on a 3-5 day schedule, unless I have something with a crazy feeding response then it is whemever they "act" hungry. Lets face it, balls will NOT eats if they don't want to. I feel the only way to power feed a ball is to assit in someway, this I do NOT agree with, unless it's a struggling hatchling. JMO

I feed as often as they will eat and as much as they will eat willingly. No issues with this.
