I fed him every 5 days for the first two months, then every 7-10 days for a few months, and now he eats every 10-14 days. There was a similar pattern with my jungle. He was 31g at 2 months old when I got him on 9/22/15, 134g on 12/27/15, and 1425g at his last weigh in on 12/25/16. The breeder was feeding my carpets every 2-3 weeks prior to their arrival. I prefer a more growth oriented feeding regiment. I'm sure your IJ will do great on a 5-7 day feeding schedule.

Alright awesome. Thanks Zig, you are the best. I'm not too worried about his weight. As long as it is because he wouldn't eat and still doesn't want to eat. I'll feed him sometime towards the end of this coming week and hopefully he will take.
