well for hatchlings feeding ever 4-7 days would be better. They will grow faster that way. Every 7-10 days is for adults.
I feed every 7 days since I don't have time to feed more often....

I feed mine every 3-5 days and have no problems. The heat is also on the higher end.

I think every 3 days is dangerous. They still won't be done digesting their previous meal by this time. Wait at least 5.

I feed mine every 5 days until they are 12-18 months old, then I feed them every 7 days or so. :)

Mine get fed every 5-7 days and most (with the exception of two sick ones I was sent) have been doing fine on that regimen.

part of it will have to do with prey size. I move my neo's up rapidly, July's babies are eating small adlt mice on a 7-10 day schedule. If I was still feeding pinks or fuzzies they would probably be on a 4-5 day schedule(and much smaller lol.).
