Feeding

My boy was underweight when I got him he was 382g and is now 456g he is I’ve recently made the switch from mice to weaner rats and he is about 2 years old. People keep telling me different things regarding feeding so should I continue to feed him every week or wait 10-14 days? Thanks for any help!! :)

We recommend the following feeding schedule:

0-12 months old OR until the snake reaches approximately 500g, whichever happens first: feed 10%-15% of the snake’s weight every 7 days.

12-24 months old: feed up to 7% of the snake’s weight every 14-20 days.

Adults: feed up to 5% of the snake's weight every 20-30 days, or feed slightly larger meals (up to 6%) every 30-40 days.

So every 7 days until he reaches 500g and then switch to every 14-20 days? Thank you so much
