I used that book to. I fed mine every three days when it was eating, and then I think that when it gets four feet you suppose to change to every 5-7 days and increase from med rats to large. Then there are those that power feed, I am not sure what that is or how they do it, maybe Brian or Tango can explain that. But every three days was good, I feed mine now every 4-5 days to catch up. And was thinking of going back to every 3 till she gets bigger. But I guess burms can eat alot but it also depends on the size food.
