I feed my youngsters every day while they are growing, and then down to every other or two days when they're adults. I'm in no way scientific about it, sometimes every day, sometimes two or three. I have big, healthy geckos doing it this way; probably simulates nature more. Just remember the babies need food every day. A good rulr of thumb is as much food as they'll eat in 15-30 minutes, but I don't have any problems leaving a couple more in for later. They're usually gone the next day. I feed all my geckos at night when thay're awake.
