    I feed hatchlings every 4 days until they hit the 500 gram range. Then I bump them to a 7 day schedule.

    Hatchling metabolisms are usually so fast that it is almost impossible to overfeed them I think. Mine are usually ravenous. An appropriated sized meal, maybe a little smaller than normal, every 3-4 days should be perfectly fine.

    My girls were eating 15% of their body weight every three days until they hit around 200 grams give or take. Then they slowed down to a 5-6 day feeding cycle, though I still offered every 3.
