    Keep in mind that not all hatchlings eat right away...those 15 feeders may last you longer than just 3 feedings...

    Thanks for all of your help guys.
    I will just scoop up some hoppers tonight after work and then probably have to again on Friday. I dont want to run the risk of anything dying especially from starvation.
    Ill just have to quit my B'ing and buck up lol. its not like it will last forever.

    Good news is, i will be buying a house within the next month or so, so i will be breeding my own whatever the heck i want and won't have this issue much longer

    Anticipate at least one little humbug who will be a difficult feeder, you might want to start with 8-10 hoppers just in case.
