0.1 pounds (1.5 ounces) to 0.12 pounds (2 ounces) PER ONE MEAL

TIA (5 lbs)
0.13 pounds (2 ounces) to 0.15 pounds (2.4 ounces) PER DAY TOTAL
0.065 pounds (1 ounce) to 0.075 pounds (1.2 ounces) PER ONE MEAL

I am not going to measure Cali's food because she is TOO SKINNY and we've been trying to help her gain weight she we got her. I am going to let her eat as much as she wants and just PRAY that she gains some weight. She's all skin and bones.

So for Codie and Tia, does that sound about right??
i used that calculator to determine Morgan's food intake. I measured for 3% because morgan is skinny and hyper it says she should be eating 2.02oz per day which is less then what i'm actually feeding her now. i don't know if i trust that calculator, but maybe its different if you are feeding prey-model raw.

mainly you pick a starting amount and go from there. if you want more weight on them feed more, if you want them to lose weight feed less.
