Is it time to feed her two pinkies?

After feeding Melody last night, I noticed that the bump is less significant than last week's feeding. I checked on her this morning and I think the lump is gone. Should I start feeding her two pinkies? Maybe one and a half?

Melody is just so pretty!

How much does she weigh? I'm still so new to all of this, so I've been using the Munsen plan, as it makes it so much easier (for me, anyway, lol) to determine when to move up a level in feeding size/amount.

Thanks!

I have no idea what she weighs. I haven't got a scale yet, which I probably should get.

I'd get one if I were you. It's just plain fun to track how they're growing, plus it makes determining when to move up a stage in feeding so easy for a nervous newbie like me, lol.

I'll start looking for scales. It would be very helpful, seeing as I'm worried to mover her up.

Scales are pretty cheap on Amazon. I think I paid $15 for mine. It's awesome to see how much my babies are growing

Melody is lovely. What morph is she? also like that interesting little pattern change mid way down.

Very gorgeous!
I personally think you can try two pinkies - or, do a little test. How quickly would you say she eats a pinky? If you don't watch her, try having a look next time (and have 2 pinkies prepared just in case). If she gobbles it up no problem and it seems quick to you, she's probably good for another one. Anther sign is if they continue looking for food afterwards... although some do this regardless

Or, to be cautious, you could wait until you have a scale. I got a nice digital kitchen scale from an army surplus store for $8!
