Do many people on here feed 2 x Fuzzys before moving up to small mice?
If feeding 2 items before moving up then dont you risk taking a large drop in total food intake when they move up?
Ie, if your feeding 2 x 7g Fuzzys, Then you move up to a 10g, thats a 4g drop in total intake.
How do most people taper up?
Do you just feed singularly increasing in size?
Thanks

the royals food though does get weighed
Why the difference HannahB? Just curious as to why you would weight the royals feed but not the corns.

doubling up on food before moving up a size is the best way to get the stomach used to a bigger meal even if the first few meals of the next size up will be smaller that what its currently eating..
tbh i wouldnt worry too much about the weight of the food when transitioning up a size |

Okay cheers.
If you feed 2 (and they can handle 2) then dont you think that when you put them onto 1 of the next size up then they are getting less?
Thanks

I do what lee does aswell. Just move him up to two before you move him to the next size to help prep his stomach |

i always double up before moving up a size,helps prepare their stomachs for a larger meal because its still easier to digest 2 small meals |
