A lot of times I make genralizations in the show, things that are more the rule, just not to confuse people. I have a male ivory that is 2200 grams that breeds like mad, but for the most part I see that larger males get a bit lazy. We feed smaller meals once a week to our males that are over 800 grams. It keeps them healthy, but not over weight. It works for us, but that doesn't mean in anyway thay is you have a larger male that it won't workout great for you. Sorry for not being more clear on that topic. Thanks, Brian(BHB)
