Lol. You would be suprised. They are super easy to take care of. Well, for the most part. I have 10, and I think they are a piece of cake as long as nothing goes wrong. Lol. We feed on Wed nights though. That way they all usually bathroom on the weekend, and I'm not up late on the week night cleaning cages

I think you're plans sound really good though I find it easier to feed from the top rather than from the side, but you might find the other easier. Guess it also depends on if you're feeding live/frozen. Frozen shouldn't really make a difference.

I bought clear tubs from Walmart and can easily see my babies. Lol. At night that is. Hopefully you get it set up soon so we can all see what it looks like
