So it seems like I should be shooting for a 40-45g feed. Should I be concerned about this dip in weight? On 4/20 he was 420g. I mean I fed him 4/21 so it’s not like he isn’t eating.
    Sorry for the late response, but your proposed feeding schedule sounds fine. When he hits 1000g, go back to every 14 days. I hear Nexguard works great for mites. It's best that you let your vet administer it for you.
