    This girl is not eating for a few weeks! I've been giving her a medium every other week and she's maintained a nice, lean, loaf shaped body... last week Phatty refused his large rat so I gave Eowyn the rat.. she had a medium and a large last week! She was definitely plump after that, not overly, but yeah.

    I'm thinking of giving her a month.

    She's definitely a tad chunky. At 3 years old I'd feed her every 4 weeks tbh. Here's the schedule I use:

    Birth - 1 year: 10-14 days, when I start breeding I'll probably give the babies meals spaced 7 days apart for the first couple of meals then go to 10-14

    1-2 years: every 14 days

    2 years: 2-3 weeks

    3+ years: every 4-6 weeks, spacing it out as they age according to the individual

    I also do fasts. During their second winter, I feed half as often (4 weeks rather than 2), and then their third winter I completely withhold food for 90 days. So far, only Cloud is getting this regimen but I've begun Tirel and Nymeria on their monthly winter feedings. I will fast the two adults I'm receiving, but this winter I'll be feeding them mostly like normal as their previous owners probably have not been fasting them. As babies/juveniles up to 1.5-2 years I accept a small bulge, but as adults I make sure they don't have any bulge.

    I'm also not worried about being late, I'd rather be 2-3 weeks late feeding them than even just a couple days too early. Nobody gets any extras, no exceptions.

    5'+ is a good size for a 3 year old, so she's not small, no need to worry. Boas don't have to be 6' by their 3rd birthday.

    Re: Eowyn!

    I think she literally just got chunky from the last feeding, lol. Her every other week feeding was keeping her lean, or at least she looked good in my opinion. She really packed on that last meal.

    I think she would actually be four and a bit right now if the pet store was corrext when I first got her? I'm not sure.

    I'll have to adjust her schedule accordingly.

    Re: Eowyn!

    To be honest, I wouldn't mind if she stayed this chunky. It's kind of my perfect in between. :$

    It looks like there's something weird with her tongue, thoughts?
