Do I feed Dude? We have only had him for about three months and he is still very small a little bigger then a half dollar.I have been feeding him 4-5 pellets in the am and 4-5 pellets in the pm and I just started to give him some lettuce but only once a week,Is this to much or not enough?
Anytime I go past the tank to look he goes nuts like FEED ME, FEED ME....lol.I dont want to over or under feed so any help would be great.

Sounds like enough. When he gets a little bigger you will want to cut down to once a day.

yep sounds good but be careful with that begging. u'll have to resist those little piggies Smile

does he show any interest in lettuce? try carrots if he doesn't and u can also add treats once a week. they LOVE tuna and cooked chicken Razz
