Don't worry, most of the time they eat head first but bum first just takes longer to get eaten, cos legs tend to stick out a bit, no harm

Thats a bit close between feeds. If I was you I'd switch it to every 5 days at the most though every 7 days will do.

Dont worry, I know a guy who has a python that eats his meals both ends first! (Bends it till the head and feet touch and then eats it!)
