I have a young hoggie, he weighs 24g, he is eating a pinkie in about 2 minutes, do you think it is time to give him 2 pinkies at a time now?
I don't want to 'power feed' him. Just need a bit of advice please.

At 24 grams he could certainly eat fuzzies, but it would be best to keep him on two pinkies per feeding until he hits 30 grams or so on an empty stomach. |

Well i tried 2 pinkies today, he took them, so looks like he needed them.
Thanks for the replies.

Sounds like you're feeding him often enough, so you could always try offering two pinkies and seeing if he takes them. |

Louise....he isn't big enough to take a bigger size, but you can only just see a small bump.
I feed them every 4 days,well i leave 3 clear days inbetween feeds, if that makes sense.

How often do you feed him?
You could also try waiting fewer days before feeds since they have a high metabolism. |

Does he have a visible lump in his belly after he's eaten the pinkie? |
