What and how often do you feed your adult BP?

Interesting Tim. What is the reasoning behind wanting to keep the males small and only feeding once every three weeks? Do you bump up the feeding frequency when it is getting close to breeding season?

I know only feeding my males every three weeks would definitely make the rats in my freezer last longer!

BTW -- my boy that I bought from you 2 years ago is sitting at 1400g!!!

I find that they breed better if they sit at about 1000 grams, or slightly lower. That is just what works for me. Also, as others have pointed out, this feeding schedule helps my males eat more consistently. When I used to offer every 7 days, I had some males that only ate thre to five times per year. They seem to eat a bit better and breed a bit better for me on this schedule.

p.s. It sounds like your boy likes his food, and is doing great. Congrats.
