He is 1700 grams. He'll never be 3000 grams unless I grossly overfed him until he was beyond obese. The ten day diet has nothing to do with money. Thats how fast his body metabolizes, and how big his genes have alowed him to get. The female gets fed on five day now because I am trying to put on more weight, and because she's a monster, and will take anything I throw at her. By my ways, she is perfectly healthy. And she would be by yours too.
I'll let you know when they become sickly, malnourished, and eventually die, and you can laugh in my face about it if you wish. Until then, neither of us is right, or wrong. Both of our ways simply work.
