    Re: How much food and how often?

    I feed my babies every day. You gotta do it right though, for it not to be over feeding. Just a small meal, not enough to make a very big bulge, and very small, bite sized (head sized) pieces.

    I usually end up feeding half (actually, usually more) a nightcrawler chopped up, and a small chunk of tilapia cut up, to 4 babies. Not that that's all I feed. That's just an example.

    My adult, I feed every few days. Kinda the same way, small pieces (but not as small... he gets bigger chunks cause he doesn't eat as often). Plus he gets the babies left overs.

    The way you feed looks similar to how we feed Binky, except we just have the one to feed at the moment. The sort of quantity you give to each looks to be about what I've been giving her, maybe I've been giving her a little more, but have been feeding every other day.

    We currently have a freezer with 6 pinkies and about 60 bite-sized pieces of salmon and hake (cutting the fish up took ages, but I can just defrost the cling-film wraps of fish individually). That should keep us going for a week or two, I'll run out of pinkies first so more of them needed soon.
