some people feed their neonates every four or five days but I personally go with the once a week schedule.
I feed all of my snakes on Saturday. No confusion on who eats when. Everyone eats Saturday.
Why do you want it to grow faster?
You in a hurry?
Just feed it a pinkie a week until the pinkie fails to leave a noticeable bulge. Then go to two pinkies a week.
When two pinkies a week fails to leave a noticeable bulge go to one fuzzie a week..etc..etc

I fed my corns when they were babies every 5 days or so. They just always seemed hungry after 4-5 days. Now they are much bigger, eating adult mice and eat like every 10-14 days. Just be sure to not handle your new baby after feeding. It's recommended to wait 48 hours for digestion.
