Thanks in advance

Years back I had a dwarf zebra.
It takes work to train them to take frozen food.
And you will always have to present it as if it was live-ish food.
There are two main camps in terms of feeding.
Feed once or twice per week a large meal
or
Feed daily a very small meal
After much reading I chose the second camp, a daily fed lion is a safer lion.
If you only feed once to twice a week you have a higher risk of him eating a tank-mate.
They are gulp-eaters and most die (it seems) from gut-blockages.
