    I just dump the food. No sense in making a food hopper when they do just as well foraging for it. When numbers increase Ill definitely build a hopper though, as Im sure itll be easier that way.

    yes much easyer and alot more efficiant. i just added food hoppers to all my tubs and tanks and my waste went from prolly 15% to 20% down to like 5%. and I used to just put the food in the bottom. was really worth it.

    get a washer ot place over th water bottle hole or you may end up with an entier tub of asf running lose. That the only reason I keptot hte glass tanks they even chew the metal water bottle holders if i left one empty for an hour.
