Am I overfeeding?

[fritzi2009]

Hey everyone

my stimmy has recently been changed from pinky mice onto fuzzy mice with no hassle.
he was getting 1 x pinky a week, sometimes 2 if they were really small
now he is getting 1 x fuzzy a week but because they are bigger however im worried 1 a week is too much, so i was thinking about just feeding him 1 x fuzzy every two weeks?


oh, he is 40 cm long and 10 (almost 11) months old...

nah that'll be fine for him, that' what mine was eating at that age.

Every 7 days should be fine. Is he going to the loo before you feed him again?

 

[fritzi2009]

awesome and kurto - yeh he is
i just wanted to check i wasnt feeding him too much

Seems way to little for his age and size, he should easily be on pink rats or bigger by now.

At 12 months old our stimmies are taking large velvet rats

I would have said weaner mice or velvet rats, but there is no set rule.

My 11 month old Childrens gets a small adult mouse every 4-5 days and is growing well. She is 55cm, not getting fat though..lol

I think thats fine. Is one weaner mouse per week for two 24month old spotteds ok? (male is about 50cms long and female about 65- 70cms). The vet sadi they are in perfect condition.

I have a few 11 month old stimmies that are around the 50cm mark, they are all eating adult mice or weaner rats every 5-7 days. Definatly bump up the food size.
