Hey just a quick question, my cali king is now nearly a year old. we currently feed him 1 fuzzy every 5 days and he weighs 46g, should I increase the time between feeds or is this ok for now, if so, when should we increase the time? Appreciate any advice thanks

Thanks for the advice guys, don't think hes big enough to move up a size yet, he seems very small for his age.
