I've never stuck to a schedule before when comes to feeding inverts, I feed more often when they are young though. They are like other growing animals, when they are growing, it's OK to feed them and to let them get really fat looking when younger. I don't worry about over-feeding them when they are young, they will molt to fit. I slow it down when they get to the average size of the species. I think of what they might come across in the wild, sometimes big things, sometimes a lot of small things so I deal with it that way. If they are young and haven't molted in a while, I'll offer more until they don't want to eat anymore. You tend to get a feel for it after a while. I handle it that way with all inverts. Especially if I want to breed something later, I feed more and get them to sexual maturity faster. Maybe that's not a good answer you were looking for but related enough that it might help out.
