Opinion poll!

Re: How many times a day do you feed?
Twice a day, just split his daily ration that he would get if I fed at one time. Not sure, but he seems to have less waste to clean that way. Don't know why, I guess his body uses more of the food up with the smaller portions. Then again I could just be crazy!
