Just got a Red Foot and have a question about how much he should weigh. He is 3.5 inches and weighs 100 grams, his hatch date was July 2008. To me he feels on the light side. Saturday and Sunday he ate greens, Monday I gave him chopped apple and banana's, today greens again. He seems to eat okay, though not a lot. I have only been feeding him once per day but was wondering if I should offer him an evening meal too, at least till he is older.
