My 4 ordinoides babies are doing quite well. One is much smaller than the others, but that is because he is smart. He watches all the others eat, and then sneaks in when there full to get whats left. I always make sure they all get the same amount of food offered, but this little scrub doesnt eat as much as the other 3, and is much smaller. Thankfully, the 3 larger ones have taken to hand feeding, which I am soooooo happy about. I have much less work to do preventing food fights and cleaning their mess. These babies are around 7 months old. How often should I be feeding them as they approach the 1st year?

They're Northwesterns. 3-4 times a week is still OK. In my opinion.
My babies would eat everyday if I let them and on occasion they get food everyday.
Little eating machines at this point, trying to get out of the "Happy Meal" stage.:D

I'm no expert on ordinoides, but I feed my babies about 3 times a week.

I feed my babies a LOT... But that's because I enjoy the interaction. If you keep the diet varied and provide the proper conditions, I can't imagine there would be any issues with over feeding.

Seeing as yours are now 7 months, I would definitely cut back if needed. Maybe every second or third day. You really have to figure out what works in your situation as there is no hard and fast rule. Would love to see some updated pictures!
