Ralph that tatic is actually backed up by some very solid scientific research. Its been suggested in studies that fasting every other day could tremendous health benefits (in people) it does some weird (good) stuff. Most of the studies are based on "models" different types of critters,some transgenic.The problem if you have been free will feeding them for 3 weeks is the damage is done, most likely. You will lose some even if you change their eating habits now. I am not saying you should not cut way, way back, Just know the roots of kidney and heart problems have most likely started already.
I know this will sound cruel to some of you, but I actually skip a day or two a week with my "toads", I want them on a near starvation diet to increase their life spans.
BTW they are huge birds, I am hoping I have not over fed them this year.
