He is now on two adult mice a week. Adult but not what I would call big, I'd call em small adult honestly. I will keep him at this rate as long as he is growing fast 18-20 months or so. Once they hit adult size you really back down to 1 every 7-10 days.

I get a lot of heck from folks that say I over feed but I only feed heavy when the animals are growing and they do ocassionaly turn away food. Anyway I have never had a problem.

Some people say that Taiwans turn down bigger rats and tend to like thinner prey. I don't know I have never tried to feed a large rat to one but any rat or mouse that looked reasonable has been terminated with undue haste by my three thus far.

Just don't expect them to eat at a hi rate once grown, I do think he would eat more if I let him though, the guy is a real pig,
