I have been feeding him once every month for the past two months and he is still a very good hunter. I read that feeding them less would slow down their metabolism and that way he would potentially last longer. I do keep his dish with fresh water and replenish it every two days.Do you really think he could still last years? That would be awesome!I haven't considered breeding him. If there are any breeders out here from the Twin Cities, Minnesota maybe I can let you borrow him, he's a cutie <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite2" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=";)" />.Again, thank you MassExodus and see you around here!Best,Penny</blockquote>
