How often should I water little cactus? I lost some before to rotting, now just being extra prudent.

Just take note that watering it during winter is a big no. When it’s summer, there’s no specific frequency really but the best thing to do is dip your finger in the soil and if it’s already dry, then you can water with moderate amount. It’s better to “underwater” (it’s used to super dry environment) than to overwater it. You’re right to be careful.
You can do it this time!
