Feeding Advice

I have a diamond about 16 months old possibly older
Iv'e read not to feed them weekly
So now I feed him about every fortnight on adult mice
Is this adequate?

Cheers

try to change it over to feeding on rats as it may be harder
to do when it gets older and it will be cheeper in the long run.
It should be big enough to handle a weaner to small rat

Hey Beeman,
He's on rats also it's just that my supplier did'nt have the next rat stage at the time. And I thought the next size up would be a bit of a stretch lol. Same with my Bredli luckily they go for both

I got the information from a feeding pamphlet, that stated diamonds should be fed every 2-3 weeks. Is it to do with DPS?
