I go by how fat they look. When you put her on the floor, does she look plump? Especially down by the tail you can tell when they are getting fat.



I sometimes will feed every 5 days for awhile after they fast, or if they went into shed and took 2 weeks off, I might feed a couple times in a row more often.



I would recommend using common sense and not just a pre-set formula.
