My new Russian loves food he only eats and sleeps I go to school so feed him at about 7:30 by 15:30 the food is gone so I feel guilty and give him a small snack.
How much food should he have in a day and when should I give it to him ?


Also at a weekend as soon as I put the food in its gone within a few hours.

In a large outdoor enclosure they should get as much of the right foods as they want. Indoors in a small enclosure with the wrong foods, you might need to limit food intake according to activity level and body condition. In other words feed him as much as he wants, but don't let him get fat. If you don't see fat rolls sticking out of the shell where his legs stick out, there is no need to cut him back. Also, if you intend to hibernate him this winter, then you should let him fatten up a bit.
