Not that it's NOT a good idea, but in captivity we feed our animals much more frequently than they eat in the wild. In the wild, they'll be lucky to get 12 meals a year, and for our peace of mind we're asking them to eat 52 instead. Smaller meals are better if they're eating as often as we feed.

If you feed mediums eventually they'll go off feed to let their bodies catch up.
