What's the earliest you can feed a younger bp?

I know it's kind of a newb question but I'm asking it anyway.

The regular schedule is every 7 days.

However what is the earliest you can feed a 5 month old BP?

Roxas ate last Monday night (it'll be a week this coming Monday) and he was in his hide for a full 24 hours before becoming active. (I mean really active even for him) He pooped on Wednesday and my girlfriend wanted to feed him again but I thought that was too early. I don't want him to starve but I don't want to overfeed him as well. She thought maybe we could get away with feeding him on Thursday but I still felt that was too early.

Any ideas? He's a really good eater and he gets frozen/thawed pinkies at the moment.

Thanks!!

He definatly wont starve, bps go months without eating sometimes. I personally feed anything under 500grams every 5 days and anything bigger than that every 7-10 days.

He's a very good eater which surprised us.

I'm just worried we aren't feeding him enough.

Honestly, I would feed him once a week, just make sure you're giving him the appropriate size meal. Some people do it quicker if you're trying to get them to breed, but this can easily lead into them fasting.

Okay sounds good. Thanks! I'm not rushing to breed him any time soon anyway.
