Can they grow too fast
I have never power fed but the scrawny little worm I brought home 16 months ago who was under fed and neglected was 129 grams at two years old and now at three and a half he is 2800 grams. His little sister was119 grams at six months and is now at 18 months just under 2k grams.
A pic of Inka just for the hell of it and you can see he is very healthy

Re: Can they grow too fast
Inka is just gorgeous, love the contrast of yellows and blacks.

Glad he turned out well and gained the weight he needed. I have a little one that was in the same boat, wasn't fed nearly enough and was only 70 grams at 4 months old. I'm happy to say she is doing well and is almost at 300 grams. It's truly rewarding to know that you helped out and that it was successful!

As long as its on a proper feeding schedule and eating the proper size prey, I wouldn't worry about it.

I have four 2013 babies all born around the same time and one is out growing the other three by about 30%.
