How often to feed breeder males?

[Alicia]

How often do all you experienced breeders out there feed your males? I want to know because mine are in the 700-800gram range now. I don't think they need to get much bigger than they are now to be productive breeders. I also want to keep them health at a good weight. What do you feed your males? Do you prefer to keep them on mice? Do you feed them every 6-7 days instead of every 4-5 days like females?

In general, everyone is offered a small to med-small rat once every 6-8 days, male and female alike. I don't offer any difference in prey. They kinda set their own feeding schedule. This time of year, for instance, the older males generally aren't interested in eating and the ladies are happy to take left overs.

Also, I don't worry about letting my males get 'too big.' Unless he's obese (really, I don't like my females to be too fat, either), I'm unconvinced there's any reason to sweat it.
