Feeding during cooling? Yes or No??

JasonKirtley Sep 25, 2006 09:30 PM

After reviewing Dave C's breeding post numerous times i see that he/you said you feed your brbs through your cooling period. Did I read this right? Your temps are DTH as 75 and NTL as 70? You don't have to repost your original breeding 101 as it should be the intro into the BRB forum site just wondering if i got this right as i have one female gravid now...i believe so....and another that i am putting weight on and getting her and a male ready to cool in november...any info from anyone would be appreciated and Thanks for the advice on feeding a problematic neonate Jeff. A live hopper did the trick and she hasn't stop eating since Thanks everyone Jason K

I feed as long as they want to eat! They let me know when to stop.
