I don't have the answers really, but I think I'd personally switch from every day to every second day at 1-1.5 years and to 3 a week another 6 months-1 year after that. It really depends on the bluey I'd guess. Wonder what the experts will say...

With Spike and Baylee I stopped feeding them everyday just before their first birthday, though they didn't eat as much of the winter months.

Christopher and Saphira both went to everyother day around three months. Saphira because she ate better that way and Christopher because it was easier to manage with him being in the classroom. Plus he tended to get a few more treats (fruit and bugs) so didn't need a full meal everyday.

Mine is nearly two(adult at two,I think}and he gets fed alternate days ,and eats what he will, there's no definate amount that gets eaten at any point, most of his decision on what to eat stems from what was/is given , eg if he gets snails he'll eat them all,and ignore greens until he gets bored or hungry again can be a few days to reach this point, if I fed snails every day he'd eat every day until he popped I reckon.
MMMmmmmm... Something???????

My young bloke...5 months hardly eats when i feed him anyways, maybe because its winter and all so i think feeding him every second day won't hurt him....am i right saying that?
