doesnt it just...they have done great



Peanut has gone from 250g just after his RI in Feb to nearly 900g now and that is a normal feeding schedule;-)

great chart, did you do that on your pc?

They do put weight on pretty quick once they are on rats...

I only feed my girls every 2 weeks now, Lily is only just over a year old but weighs just under 1000g.

do you feed all yours at the same time?

i do with the royals but even when i feed the corns the following day then two of my royals are out on the prowl and i am sure they would eat everyday right now if they could...

All three of my babies are now on rats and are out of their hides as soon as they smell the hairdryer wafting the scent!! LOL.
Gladysss now back feeding after nearly a 12 week gap, but only on mice :(

And we all know the story of poor Ziggy, but at least he's having some food and not losing weight.
