    BP feeding

    My female normal BP has not eatin in 7 mouths. she has seen the vet and was put on meds. after loosing hundreds of grams,
    (she was over 1000g) i would like to know what rate should i be feeding her. she is about 2 yrs old and is about 750 - 780 grams. I want her to breed next year and i want her heavy, in muscle. What rate should i be feeing her 1 every 3-4 days? P.S. after i put her in a tub she ate, she is now living in a 41 quart

    1 meal every 7 days. If she makes it she makes it if she doesn't well you just shouldn't be stuffing food in her face. Fat girls don't make good breeders. Healthy girls do.

    She has plenty of time to put on weight for next season. Feed her once a week and she should be fine.
