No problem at all. That's a good question to ask. But as I said, they're just guidelines. So try not to let little details get you stressed out (easier said than done, I know, hahaha).Originally Posted by Southpaw91
Try to remember that these animals have survived for thousands and thousands of years without us, so they're more resilient than many people give them credit for. There's nothing perfect for them in nature and keeping them in captivity isn't a perfect science either.
So, remember they're guidelines, use common sense, ask questions, apply what you learn and you'll be as close to perfect as any keeper can be.
My advice, don't be in a rush to move her up. Some people seem to want to feed feed feed so their animal grows quickly. But long term, it's better to grow them slow. Smaller meals digest easier and will lead to fewer food strikes too.
As long as she's eating consistently the pups you have will be fine while you feed them off. That's only a few grams difference when thinking long term.
