Like I said, they do regularly eat LARGE meals and frequently. I think most people feed them as much as they'll eat to get rapid growth. They are VERY efficient at food digestion/assimilation.
Personally, I go with larger meals less often. Continual small meals seems to develop a "Pin Head" condition.
