Hi everyone. This is my first post.

I have just got myself a amel corn, he is 4 month old (I've had him for a month).
The pet shop was feeding him twice a week on pinkies. ( Tuesday and Saturday).
I've kept this up, He is eating them no problem. I was just wondering if this is not too much. ( 3 days then 4 days). I asked about feeding every five days but he said because he is so young I need to feed him twice a week.
So if this is not too much, how long do I need to keep feeding him twice a week for, I don't want him to get overweight and start having problems.

Thanks for any help.
Neil.

Every 5 days seems to work out fine, otherwise you wouldn't have a chance to play with him :P

Thanks Donnie. I thought that was abit much. Just with him saying I need to feed twice a week when they are so young.
I will go to every five days. I'm new to all this, but loving it. Thanks again for your quick reply.
Neil.

Feeding him twice a week will not give his digestive system much time to recover before the next feed so you should be feeding 1 pinkie every 5 days. When 1 pinkie is not leaving much of a bump then feed 2 pinkies every 6 days.
