Hi guys

Just a quick query really Eddie has 1 fuzzie every 5 days currently just wondering if thats enough/too much ? it doesnt leave much of a noticable bulge once hes actually ingested it just wondered if i needed to increase the size or frequency at all i dont want to underfeed him but then i certainly dont want to overfeed him either i know your suppose to offer food 1 and a half times the width of the head but a fuzzie looks pretty big in comparison to eddies head so im not sure hence asking
ive enough fuzzies in the freezer to last a good 5-6 weeks and no doubt in that time hel have grown a bit more.

New feeding video taken today.. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5cD_mC_tRtQ

As Simmy_82 has suggested...the rule is maximum of 1 & 1/2 times the widest part of the body (which makes the head do all kinds of crazy stretching)

it not actually by the size of the head, it is not to be more than 1.5 times the size of the mid body girth. so going by ur video it might be an idea to up his feed, but i think u should hear what others think before taking my advice
