In Reply to: Thumper - Here's what Pepe eats... (long) posted by Matt Campbell on February 29, 2000 at 23:15:14:

Pepe poops more than once a day cuz he's small and still growing at tremendous rates ... as he gets older + bigger, his gut will get bigger too and he won't need to go as often ...

in my experience, when the greens are chopped *too* fine, that's when problems start because the gut gets packed more than what is natural ... ig's are made to swallow fairly large portions of leaves, that's what they do in the wild + that's what their digestive systems are built to do ...

the "sprinkles" on the other hand, aren't very natural to an ig diet and *should* be grated or sliced into very thin pieces ...

also, like Lola, as iZ got bigger, he began to really resent, + then outright refuse, to eat greens that were sliced/chopped too small ...
