It's nice to see some one posting a nice normal burm for a change. Now to see if we can get a discusion going whats up with the power feeding that looks to be at least a large rat if not jumbo to get a burm to that size in three months seems a little excesive. How often are you feeding it. Most of the power fed burms i've worked with and I used to work with one of the larger breeders in the country so i've seen a lot die before they are ten it just dosen't seem healthy. I currently have a burm that is 17 years old and two burms in their 20's that have never been powerfed in fact most people tell me i underfed them but i feel their longevity shows they are cared for fine (they all get a 5lb rab once a month) and get annual vet visits with a clean bill of health accross the board. This isn't ment to be an attack against you as a keeper I just wanted to get a good discusion going it's been awhile sence there has been a good feeding debate on this forum.
