Hi there

Well I havent killed em, and they seem to be doing fine. However need a bit more advice. Been regularly feeding them every 4 hours. To start with they were looking quite empty by the time next feed came around, now they still havent processed as much as they have been. Should I wait a bit longer before next feed or is it ok to feed them as per usual.

thanks

Penny

You need to let the crops empty if you do not the food in the bottom of the crop will spoil. the crop emptys from the top down. when are you feeding them The schedule Shoulld be about 6AM - 10AM - 2PM - 6pm - 10pm let them sleep from 10PM to 6AM. Do the have a heating pad to snuggle up to to keep their crops warm?
