all three of my dums have a different schedule. Im starting to think there is no norm for them. lol My male will only eat about every 3 to 4 weeks and only after he has dropped a load for me to clean up. My lil girl will eat eat and eat and eat then theres a log about the same size as her when she poops about evey 3 feedings. and my big girl will eat and poop almost at the same time. I feed them every 14 days. my big girl is 34 lbs and just shy of 7 feet. my lil girl is 1800ish grams and about 4.5 feet. and my male is 4 feet and only 1600 grams. i've never had a baby one so not sure on that. I rescued all three of mine. They are great animals! I hope to maybe produce some in a couple years.
