My corn is 6 months old and just over a foot and a half and was on 2 pinkies every 7 days and I am moving him onto fluffs now. Should I feed him 1 fluff every 5 days or should it be a fluff every 7 days. I was personally thinking 1 fluff every 5 days and then later 2 fluffs every 7 days, am I on the right lines?

keep to the 7 days general rule is bigger the rodent bigger the gap. BUT its not a set in stone rule. 5 days one feed 7 the next etc wont do any hard what so ever. both my 2 get feed randomly around the 14 day mark but some times it might be on the 12th day other times it might go as far as 21.

I am never really set in stone with my feeding patterns. The way I see it is that in the wild they wouldn't eat regularly and the same size meal each time. So going a couple of days over here and there will do no harm.

So i'd aim for 5-7 day feeds then as the food size gets bigger move to 7-10 day feeds.
