Brumation and feeding question

Two questions really -

1) Do you reduce the meal sizes in the wind-down before brumation, or increase the times between meals, or just feed as normal until a certain date, and then stop feeding after that? I have always done the latter, but I was recently speaking to someone who did the former, and so I got to wondering what was more common among corn-keepers.

2) Do you feel two weeks after the last meal before beginning to lower the temperatures is sufficient, or do you leave it longer?

Thnaks in advance, Skye
 
I usally feed my corns up til abouit three weeks before brumation begins...I think two weeks would be sufficent, as long as you know they have not been fed or had a bowel movement recently...

This is just my opinion on it...

Thanks Drizzt.

How about the size of food issue, and whether one should gradually reduce food size, or just stop cold?

Anyone else care to tell me what they do?

Thanks, Skye
