Posted - 12/01/2013 : 13:36:54 Hi my Cali is managing pinkies no probs, not sure whether to try him on fluffs yet. He is about 8 mths old and weighs about 30g. Feed him every 5 days and he takes no probs. shall I give him 2 pinkies or move him up? |

Posted - 12/01/2013 : 20:50:45 I actually feed him in his viv, he seems happy doing this and I do not have to handle him after he has eaten. What are the advantages of feeding him outside the viv in a RUB?

Posted - 12/01/2013 : 16:21:24 Might sound like a daft question but do you give 1 pinkie and then the other as soon as the tail has disappeared ? |
