Pick feeding night based on when you want to feed him. If you want him on a 7 day feeding schedule and you want to feed him on Thursdays then wait until Thursday. If Khuno misses a meal its not going to hurt/bother him. You could also feed him tonight and then in 5 days and then a week from that day. They are flexible with in reason as far as dinner time goes.

I don't care what day of the week I feed as I am a stay-at-home mamma so can add it into my schedule any day of the week.

The breeder fed him every 7 days and it has now been 2 weeks since he ate as he was due for a feeding the day I took him home. So it had been a week before I got him that he had his last meal, and he has been home with me for 7 days.

Well he certainly was ready to eat!!! We fed him in his feeding tub, one med sized mouse pinkie and in less than 2 seconds, he located the head and dug in!! got it all the way down in little over a minute!!

What a good healthy eater my little guy is!!
