Tim, the standard advice is feed until they can't eat it all within ten minutes or so. But my BG (and some LMB) eat and eat and eat once it warms, to the point where I can't afford to feed them to satiation.

They will survive just fine even if we don't feed them as many pellets as they'll eat. Supplement mentality rather than dependence. If your feeder is like mine, 6 to 8 seconds a day 3x equals around two to three pounds feed daily, appropriate for your size BOW. Sounds like you are doing it right, balancing growth with budget. Bet you grow some whoppers!
