    Re: Slow growers

    I have to agree with Jo I have three or four animals that were fed every 5 days from the time they were babys till they hit 1000 grams or showed signs of slowing down I.E skipping every other meal. Now I feed nothing larger than a smal rat and they get weaned rats till they get to be 800+ grams And all of them are healthy and feed every week with out fail. I wouldn't suggest it to everyone but its the way I do things. They are not fat nore are they over fed they ate because they could handle it. Then I have two animals that were fed every 7 days and they are some of the worst eaters I have.

    Now with that said Power Feeding can have advers affects if over done. But for some one that knows thir snakes then feeding every 5 days or even every three is not a problem.

    in the end its what you KNOW not feel your animals can handle.
