There is some truth to this... when we got our female pied at the local Petsmart she was damn close to starving in my opinion. She was as big around as two of my very average sized fingers and they were feeding her fuzzies once every two weeks. I stepped her up to small weaned mice almost immediately and she is now on rat crawlers and doing great. She's lost that "gaunt" look she had.
