So George is about two and a half months old, and I know up until we got him he'd been fed once a week, which is what I've been doing as well. He's eaten all three times since I got, no problem, but having read several posts on here, it seems that many of you say to feed little'uns every 5 days...

Your thoughts please?

Love,

Neurotic Mummy Ruxpin64!

i aim to feed our hatchies every 5 days, in reality though i rarely remember meaning they go weekly or 9 days

they don't have a schedule and calendar in the wild so my feeding pattern is 'natural'

cornsnakes, ratsnakes, bullsnakes, boas and day geckos
