Poll hatchling feeding schedule

[el8ch]

We are not talking about how to feed the non eating hatchlings here, we are talking about how we feed the eating hatchlings.. I wonder how you guys feed your holdback, you definitely want them to grow fast especially for the precious males, so how did you do that without making them getting too fat? what is the ideal schedule..
I'm making 4 poll options here, let me know what you guys usually do and maybe some explanation on it. Thanks

Problem Feeder Hatchlings:
I offer all hatchlings rat pups, typically more mobile pups as I find this stimulates a good feeding response. If I have a hatchling that does not feed on the pups after a several feeding attempts I will flip to hopper mice. Once they are eating consecutive meals I move them back to rat pups.

Problem feeders are not always a result of the snake though, husbandry can play a huge part in a snake that is not eating.

Hatchlings:
As mentioned above. We feed appropriately sized rat pups (the pups are roughly the same size or slightly bigger then the thickest section of the snake) every 5 days. Once we have the hatchlings on a solid feeding schedule we move to 5-7 days.

Holdbacks:
All depends on the size of the snake and remember it is not a race! Again, we feed an appropriate sized prey item on a 5 to 7 day feeding schedule for hatchlings and a 7 day schedule for juveniles and adults. During breeding season our feeding pattern fluctuates depending on the animal.

All of our animals feed on live rats, no F/T here.
