I guess I don't feed enough ? I have a Hippo here now that I brought along with a 100 in about 1999 and its been with me every since from a 55 to a 125 to 180 now and its maybe 5 inches maybe or open hand size and I have average hands I guess ?

I hope its a slower rate like yers tangster. Maybe they are all different? Hes in a 90 now but in 2 years plan to move him to at least a 220 for the remainder of his life.
