I just got my brb he's 3 months old and was wondering if someone can help me with a specific feeding schedule? how many pinkies/fuzzies he should be eating at this point? A member said he looks malnourished so I want to make sure everything is ok. Pics are in the pics section

Hi there, just noticed your post may have been overlooked so just in case you are still looking for the advice : what I do with my two brbs (and its actually advice I got from this forum) is feed them prey items that weigh 10-15% of their own body weight once a week. So that means if your brb weighs 50g then give him a pinkie or fuzzy that weighs 5- 7.5g (10-15% of 50g). Feeding this once a week should work fine in getting him up to his healthy weight. Hope this helps :)

I like the idea of feeding them 10-15% of their weight which is actually what I follow and make sure of as well. It will also help if you feed them right about the same time of the week so it will be something done regularly and nothing that they will grow some intolerance over.

I have gotten this advice in here as well. Everything seems to be holding up quite fine.
