Re: BRB Growth

I got my brb from a breeder that has been breeding BRBs for 20+ yrs. This breeder actually sold some of the first albino BRBs. He said 5-6 days seems to get them on a great schedule. My skittles has never turned up a meal(even in deep shed), he hasn't struck at anything out of confusion since he was under a month old and he is always ready to come out and play on the 3rd day. I always have him out atleast twice a week. He's a curious little guy,wanting to explore everything.

I personally think that the overfeeding thing is mostly a myth. Like the "never feed in the snakes enclosure" thing or "too big of an enclosure is stressful". (personally learned those the was BS). I've never seen any proof one way or the other on the overfeeding matter. If he stops growing, start turning down meals, or starts getting fat, I'll slow down but limiting a growing baby of any animal seems bad.

With all that said, Skittles is growing faster than his brothers on the same diet. I think he might be a giant in the making.
