Is my Corn getting fat??

[dakski]

I look at the vent area and overall body shape. In that photo, it's hard to tell.

However, if he/she is getting love handles at the vent, time to slow down feeding.

I feed my male Corn an adult mouse every two weeks and he maintains his weight well. If he drops, I add a mouse 2 weeks in a row and then go back to the normal schedule of every other week.

Figment, who is male corn, did get love handles, and when I moved him to the above schedule, went from 660G to about 620G and lost the love handles.

Solana, my female corn, is almost 300G now and eating adult mice, but since I don't want her to get where Figment was, I am feeding her every other week now a smallish adult mouse. She's still growing, but proportionately, that's a bigger meal for her than for Figment, obviously.

Either way, and sorry I rambled, going to every other week probably won't hurt anything.

Below are my threads for Figment and Solana if you want to see Figment too heavy and then back to a good weight. Solana is proportionally looking good, IMO.
