My hoggie is getting aggressive..

I make sure I don't have food scent on my hand.. I wash my hands and I have my sister put the pinkies in a bowl of warm water and i use hemostats to take them out of the water and feed her.. How much should a 46.4 gram female hoggie be fed? I feed her 1-2 times a week with 2 pinkies at each feeding with each pinky weighing in a 1.5 grams each.. making it a total of 3 grams each feeding...

Well, you probably can increase up to 4gms total per feeding and that is the low end of a 46gm reptile. Bc 10% of 46 =4 and actually is 4.6 closer to 5gms of food. So the female can use a bit more per feeding. If you wanted to go with 15% of 46 is 6.9gms very close to 7gms. You really have to give her bigger pinks or go to f/t hopper mice.
