We were told he was about 1yr old when we acquired him so we did weekly feedings and he never skipped a meal. But maybe with him being more like 2 now... and being able to go 5 months without food obviously... perhaps we should switch to something like bi-weekly feedings. What do you think?
I don’t think you could do any harm stretching their feedings out 10 to 14 days. You find a lot of the more experienced keepers and breeders on here do the same. It’s definitely a step to take if you want to encourage year round feeding and minimizing fasts. Sorry I took so long to respond.
