 |
|
By the end of this week-end I hope to have collected the final three normal female Royals that I wanted to start my collection. It will only make six, but hey... it is a start and I am delighted. May I ask you all for your opinions please ? Four of the girls are around the 500gr mark, one is about 300gr and one tiddler is only 160gr. I know that it is all down to whether or not they eat well etc., but do you think that any of them should / could be ready for the 08 / 09 breeding season 
If they will take it, can I feed them every 5 days ? I am aware that it is wrong to power feed, but when does feeding well become feeding too much ? Thankyou all for your help,
Sue |
