Weigh your adult male this morning. Compare to last month. A flat or rising trend is fine; a drop over 5% warrants a vet call.
Adult male week — three feedings, four supplements, one rest.
Adult panthers eat less often than juveniles. The schedule below keeps weight stable and stool clean across a typical adult-male week.
Adult males in their settled years (roughly 18 months and up) shift to a three-feed week. Less frequent meals, larger portions per meal, more attention to fasting recovery. The supplement rotation simplifies — calcium-without-D3 on every feed, multivitamin once, no daily D3 needed in animals with reliable UVB.
If your animal is overweight (visible fat pads behind the casque, slow climbing), drop one feeding day for a month and reassess. Adult males are forgiving about meal timing as long as hydration stays consistent.
