I was just wondering how often should I be feeding early on in the building folicle stage. I usually feed the adults every 6 or 7 days, but I have a female pastel who I am almost sure is building. I will feed her and she will be content for about 2 to 3 days, and then she will start roaming the cage like she is searching for food, when I go to open the tub she is right there waiting to pounce. I have been holding off and feeding her every 6 days, and when I do I toss a rat in there and she will litterally get it mid air, which is pretty cool, but should I be feeding her sooner right now?

I know they are opportunistic and usually eat when given food, but is this stage any acception, should I cut down to 5 days, or should i be letting her dictate when to feed, which would appear to be every 3 to 4 days?

Also while I am at it, do most still feed the typical size meal? I have read that some will start feeding smaller meals, when does that happen?
