Sorry, those cant be 2 years old, theyre so small!!!

By the look of them they could only take one pinkie at a feed. I feed my hoggie every 3-7 days, varying it quite a lot as these wee guys will eat quite frequently in the wild and have a reasonably quick metabolism.

Hope this helps

I have 3 month old holdbacks larger than that. Feed a pinkie every 3 or 4 days for optimal growth.
