    Re: "Power Feeding"

    IMHO I view power feeding as instead of feeding 15-20% of the body weight a week, feeding 30-40% a week, or 15-20% 2x a week (basically doubling the average amount of food) not so much jamming food down their throat, just feeding more then required.

    As of right now I feed my girl (currently 120 grams and 4 months-ish) about 15 grams (two fuzzies, between 7-8grams each, been this way for a week) on Sundays and Thursdays. She takes fine and still almost seems to be hungry after, im going to continue this for another few weeks, then up the prey size. (As recommended to me by local reptile supplier, A family owned store with employees & volunteers who care alot )

    I prefer slightly smaller meals more consistently as apposed to a bigger meal less frequently, but thats just me
