Males kept being fed once a week and as for them they never get anything larger then a small rat, I even skip meal or feed smaller prey during breeding season to keep them lean and trim
Wow so about 3% of body weight for the most part, at least for non breeding adults? Interesting. And you don't have any problem feeders on this regiment? I know it's been said many times over that we generally tend to overfeed, and this definitely makes me reconsider the 10-15% I've always heard tossed around.
