Not so sure about that."digested more thoroughly " does not mean faster. It might be if "digested more thoroughly " that more nutritional value is absorbed from the same weight of food. If so then with decreasing temps and metabolism and more nutrients from the same food - lees food would be needed and eaten. It all depends.

TJ I will check. My memory is LMB feeding and growth optimum temps are close to those of BG. HSB optimum temps are lower.
