Hello everyone, I realized that I ask so many questions and post so many threads but i'm really just happy about doin' whats right ya know?

Anyway so I fed nug (I know i keep changing names but i'm finally sticking with this one) his first hopper. It was huge, I honestly didn't think he'd eat it.. But to my suprise he got it down, it took a couple minutes but he did it. That got me thinking, how much of their diet should consist of mice/rats/frozen pre-packaged food? I feel like i never feed him his food mix anymore. He's always full for a couple days from the pinkies and fuzzies and now hoppers. Then again I feel like he's not growing like he should be, maybe because of a non-regiment diet?

I'd love any input and advice/tips
