    How often do you feed your adult BP?

    Just curious as to how often you feed your adult BP from what I have read on hear people start feeding babys as often as every five days then switch to a week some stay at a week others slow to every ten days and some every two weeks. I'd love to hear people's reasonings behind why they feed that often.

    Edit: I couldn't figure out how to add a poll sorry

    Re: How often do you feed your adult BP?

    I personally am going with a weekly schedule right away to get some size on my little ones. Having my little ones on a schedule helps me to better keep track of when they eat and dont eat. Also I like to have the days I am off that they are not digesting so I can take em out.

    I offer food every week. If they eat great if not then then wait till next week.I feed every week cause I offer smaller meals and like to see steady growth rather than sudden spurts of growth..

    Re: How often do you feed your adult BP?

    I feed my 1300g 1 1/2 year old male once a week. But I think once he gets around 1500g or around 2 years old I will switch to once every 10 days.

    My reasoning behind this? He doesn't need energy to breed right now (don't have a female yet). It's not like they are that active, and also -- how often do you think they would actually eat in the wild??

    Re: How often do you feed your adult BP?

    I've been curious about this as well, so I'm glad you asked for me haha

    Anyway, right now I'm feeding my females every week , and my lil male every other week since I don't need him to be super huge yet. He's at about 200 grams right now but he won't have a girlfriend for quite a while so I'm in no hurry for him to be big yet.

    Plus with his attitude I'm not so sure I want him to be big yet ... lol.
