LOL on the autofeeder!
I like that he is feeling good and chasing off the unwanted neighbourhood cats.:)

Looks like that icky amps is a result of a bounce, if I had to guess I would say that she dropped lower last night, there again he dropped so fast from pmps to 400pts in 6hours, that in itself may have triggered the bounce.
Question for you Madrona, what did you do if anything at +2? Did you give a snack then?
A +2 that is so much lower than the PS is a dead ringer for a very active bounce clearing cycle. In an ideal world I would have probably checked again at +3 and may have given some LC to try and slow down the slide and flatten him out a little and hopefully reduce the likelihood of bouncing in an attempt to keep him in better numbers for longer.

Gill, I missed that opportunity unfortunately--I meant to test him again at +3, but I fell asleep. Next time I'll give him the snack first in case I don't catch the next test. He did have food available, but he's much more likely to eat it if I bring it to him.

I'm a light sleeper, so I generally don't set an alarm, and expect to wake up anyway--didn't work out this time (oops). I've shifted his schedule to 7 so that getting those evening tests in will be easier (though next week I'll have to shift him back to later, when I start getting home late from research fishing--which we do every 2 weeks).

I would shift from 7 to 8 at times for various reasons, always found the 7am/7pm schedule easier. But sometimes 'needs must'
 
I'm reading up on "feeding the curve", and will see if I can feed Leda in such a way as to slow the steep drops, and see if that helps reduce the height of the bounces.

Much to learn, but this board is a wealth of accumulated experience.
