Message: <blockquote data-quote="ExMember" data-source="post: 168842">Power feeding is a reptile term. I powerfeed my jeweled lacerta right now. What you do is overfeed them when they are young. This is to make him grow faster. He should be shedding once a month and now it's down to about every 3 weeks. Breeders do this so they can sell quicker. Less time spent as a baby. Power feeding tarantulas doesn't work the same way. Food is the nourishment they need to moult but the moult is more dependant on if their new exo is ready. So feeding a t more won't trip a moult.</blockquote>
