I've had Sneaky for about 2 months now. He was only a few weeks old when I got him. I feed him 2 pinkies a week. Is this enough? Shall I try 3?
Many thanks  |

does 2 leave a bulge in his tummy?
you could consider moving up yo fuzzies providing they're no more than 1.5 times the width of his body at the widest point. don't use their head to guage food size. if you buy a bag of 10 or 20 fuzzies you can pick out the smallest ones and start with them |

| Mmmm yes, I can see 2 bulges when he's done eating... :) But he sometimes struggles to eat the bigger pinkies though. |

stick with what you're doing for a bit longer then, although a large pinky might only be 1g different to a small fuzzy, so she's nearly there  |

| you could try 3, he might take 3 one feed, then only 2 the next, but he does take 3 i'd add an extra day or two between feeds initially. |
