I offer my animals the following........

adults - feeders every 5-8 days, depending on what was their last meal.

hatchlings/sub adults - feeders every 4-5 days, also depending on what their last meal was.

My balls all eat when they want. I have a ciiny female that was born June 08' and is about 900g right now. She usually takes whatever i put in her tub. How ever i have some het LA's that are pissing me off cause they eat like once a month.

You be the judge, if they look like they don't need to eat then don't offer, if they look a little slim and offer.

I had a female drop eggs this April. She went down to about 1000g, i just weighed her again the other day and she's over 1500g.

So they will eat..........just use common sense. You know you are doing to much when they start to look a little out of proportion.
