Very thin Spotted's

[izzys1]

I have been given 2 blonde spotted's. They are both pencil thin. They were not fed regularly so have grown in length but not girth. I am intending to feed as I do for my Stimmie, once a week. Tonight they had 2fuzzy mice each My question is, can I make them unwell by feeding to much to quickly? Thanks

If they have been fed sporadically, and are undersized, feed them regularly and slowly up their feeds over time... You'll find that if they weren't fed regularly, even by giving them smaller feeds on a more frequent basis, it will be enough to put some size on them fairly quickly... Then slowly build up to larger sized prey items.... Best of luck...

I have a spotted that was underfed when I got him. Size of a 2 month old hatchie even though he was about 12 months. That was November last year. Regular feeds...he decided when... wrap & attempted finger swallowing lol.... hes now 110cm long 197 grams... he still decides when its feeding time lol...
