Dumeril baby feeding regiment

Just curious....what do people here suggest as far as frequency of feedings? Just got a baby and I read in a couple places that these guys aren't fast growers. I was planning on feeding him a couple hoppers every 2 weeks. This too little? Should I be feeding him more? I don't want to powerfeed him or anything, as I'm not planning on breeding him, at least not in the next few years.

The general rule is to offer 1 appropriate sized mouse/rat a week for the first year and a half to 2 years, and when the animal reaches 3' you can feed on a per defecation schedule due to the slower metabolism you mentioned.
