I get what you are saying definitely, I keep hides for all upto around 500g depending on how aggressive they are with feeding. The most I've had from removing a hide in my experience is a missed meal, but I also have paper in my racks so the ones that like to hide will go under the paper. Sorry I should have explained myself better
