Feeding will make them grow faster, but make them less wild and less predatory.
CC prefer an easy meal of floating pellets rather than chasing BG.
The CC at any rate will not become very predatory on BG until they reach 1bout 17 inches and two pounds or so.
You could feed to satiation until they get to 18-20 inches, then gradually cut back the feed so you are only supplementing, and they will become predatory.
With a good feeding program, your CC should reach that size by late this summer.
