that is a interesting idea. I would of thought the 5-6 feeds a week he misses out on (if you were to feed once a day. Some feed 2 a day) would make more of a difference. Hopefully I will be moving the 2 5's out of the shed soon and under the patio, So he will be alot closer and get looked after a bit better.(Still trying to convince the wife to let me put it in the house. 2, 5 footers in the house would be sweet!
