Eating too much

alreynolds2003 Jun 09, 2003 03:17 PM

My veiled is appx. 2.5 weeks old. He eats small crix like nothing. At one feeding he most likely has 7-9 crix. Is this good or bad, I heard people saying that they will stop eating when they are full, but should I let him eat to the point where he is full? When he is this young is it OK to let him do that or should i stick w/ the 5-7? He could probably eat more, but I dont wanna overdo it. If its okay, I guess I will feed him more, I just hear that when their in the juvenille stage you dont want to over feed b/c they can develop unhealthy bones, but I don't know about the baby stages.... Any help would be greatful.
