I have a commopn snapper that is about 5"-6" in carapace lenth. I am not sure of her weight. I think it would maybe be 500 grams (but don't butcher me on that if it sounds way off because it could be. I'll weigh her when i get home) I'm also not remembering exactly what her age is. (3?). i feed her once a week.

She gets everything from fish, mice, pellets, cockroaches, extra crickets from the other animals, sometime crayfish. She has an extremely varried diet and is growing like a weed.

Anyway, my question would have to be, how often should I truly be feeding her? I get mixed messages. Again, I can get better weight and carapace length tonight. If any of you can help me, that would be awesome.
