Tehya is being fed every five days and had her second feed last night and gobbled it up whilst we were all downstairs watching smellyvision :)

She soon picked up after her shed, so I'm now happy that she is eating, her first pinky didn't even make a bump, as I watched her eat it (the first feed, not two in one go) but it was quite a small pinky, I didn't see what effect the big pinky she had last night had on her so I don't know if she should be increased yet, but Simon said that because she's only just started eating with us I shouldn't change anything just in case I break the cycle again and she stops eating.

I'll have to try and keep an eye on her next feed, she is only about a mm thinner than Simon's Mexi Black and he is on Fluffs already. Am I just rushing her to compete with Simon though? lol

thank you, she had another feed yesterday and again doesn't look like she ate anything, so I'll perhaps let her carry on with a pinky every five days for the next 2 feeds or so and then just try her with two and see how we go. I wouldn't rush her I'm just trying to make sure she is eating enough. Thanks guys
