Not trying to flame here but you say your a student? College i assume? Well don't take offense to this. But you seem really against constructive criticism. I would hope you wouldn't have that same mind set in a work place. Or else it would just be a waste of money for you to attend school.
Well see from what i read that all depends on what u feed him. What if all you can get is like small rats? Maybe 1 rat is not enough and wants 2-3? Will u feed him what he wants to make sure hes full for them 2 weeks? Or just feed him one rat every 2 weeks. I would be against 2 week feeding but if your feeding him enough so hes not hungry for around 2 weeks thats better i guess
