    I think she is getting a little chunky. I might need to go to 2 week feedings instead of weekly?

    She is 400ish grams. Feeding medium ASF..... They don't get as large as white rats.

    I don’t know I don’t feel comfortable advising here. You may need a veteran to step in

    ive always heard weekly appropriate meals for bps. What makes you think she’s overweight or too big ? Is she saggy? Does she feel tone. She doesn’t look fat to me

    She could be good weight for her length. I just think she is a little plump from looking at her. She is active when being held. She moves around her enclosure just fine. Might just be me.

    I’d keep her on schedule.

    There will be a time when she fasts or goes off feed and you will be happy she has ounces in the weight bank

    She looks great. How much do the asf's weigh? She looks perfect. I dont see being over weight at all.

    Re: Shiva progression thread.

    I've personally cut back to feeding every 10-14 days and my BP has just entered her next shed cycle right on schedule (about every 2 months now). I wait until she actively starts hunting around her enclosure before I offer, so she gets a little bit of exercise in before she goes into a food coma for a few days lol. She looks healthy and is fairly active on this schedule, and that works for me.

    Maze is about 400g now as well, for reference.

    On average is 30 gram ASF. She eats really well and chases her food down. I want to switch her to FT soon so might be a good time to start trying.

    Well she definitely isn't fat then if she is 400g and her food is 30g. She looks really good and I wouldn't go every two weeks.
