2 pinkies a week!? That's alot. I'm sure with 2 pinkies a week, your male is on the fast track to being fat. I'm lucky if I get my guys to get a pinkies a month.

2 pinkies a week is way too many IMHO. That's a surefire way to give you leo liver disease or kidney failure(it's like eating a 1/2 lb steak everyday).

Try feeding superworms as a staple, or waxworms once a week, or gutload whatever you're feeding extra well. I think you'll see a bigger difference than using a sledgehammer method like feeding 2 pinks a week.
