my first reply message had a note of (banned) pop up when i tried to post it. grr... that is rediculous. i was just trying to mention a resource for some good info



violetdixie, my bad, the 2 week comment was in kingofspade's post. i apologize



the video of the feeding experiment is by brian of b h b. i think i will get banned if i get any more specific. it is very informative.



toshamc, i don't agree. i can't see a wild bp that has the instinct and desire to turn away from a meal because it hasn't been a week. i agree about not overfeeding. there is a big difference though. i have a female 8 month old ax het snow that is 36" and 800g from feeding every 5 days. she is well proportioned and there is no skin between scales. she is very active and healthy. i think her case might have a major contributing factor of genetics because my female pied is 6 inches shorter and 150g lighter. still, it's just hard for me to accept a 200g 8 month old as healthy and a good eater. i agree that the breeder is not the only factor though.
