you dont want to feed less than every 5 days, if you offered every time they had a wander you would feed then every day ;)

yeah they had a bump for 48 hours, they have just moved up a size, they normally wander but when they roam the behave different and handle different, they were both under weight when i got them and have improved i wonder if its just instict to roam as soon as they have digested?

My boy was fed yesterday evening he always goes into his hide afterwards for about an hour then comes out and mooches about for another hour and back to bed. He looks like he is looking for more but i think its just instinct to look for seconds. He has just been out for half hour mooching even though he has a full belly. GREEDY lol
