when i got my guy, he was 2 months old (6 months old now) and i fed him every 5 days like clock-work. when he got his first large mouse he actually seemed reluctant (never seem him act so carefully before striking) so then i changed it to every 6 days. now, i'm a human being prone to error, and sometimes i forget (my Time2Feed app is quick to remind me tho) or i'm out of town on his feeding day, or if i'll be gone for more than 6 days i'll feed him a day early.
my question is, is a strict feeding schedule necessary? obviously in the wild their meal isn't guaranteed, but i'm wondering if this is bad for his growth?
