    Re: switching from one week to two weeks?

Yeah I usually go with eye balling the size, and she has a slight lump each time but nothing protrusive. Thanks for the advise
    Yea, well I keep my adult males bi-weekly but if I ever notice they start to get hungry or nip at me I'd switch to 10 days. That is a good schedule and should work out well for your female, especially since you're not going to breed her. So if you notice any feeding response or anything of that nature you may want to lower it down from 10 days but I honestly don't see it being any kind of an issue.
