Hi Traci,

I would say that igs have a built-in sensor that tells them to quit eating. I've noticed on both Lola and Harry that there will be days, that they eat two or three dishes during the day...then other days...won't hardly eat one dish. I'm trying to study why this is. Whether it has to do with the natural sunlight coming in v.s. a cloudy day. Another thing is temperature....if it's at a lower setting does this make them slow down...say like at 80 degrees. It is strange how they eat. I don't believe I will find the answers soon....this is going to take time to study. I'm wondering is it also could do with internally they may sense that they need some other kind of green and veggie that isn't available to them, so they don't eat as much. But if that was the case when why at times, would they eat so much the following day? Something is going on but I can't put my finger on it. Harry on some days, seems to be eating like he'll gain 5 pounds in a week...then other days..I think he'll starve to death. I would like to find out why this is too.
Talk to you later Traci
