I wasn't trying to be snooty and if I came off that way I'm sorry... I have frozen feeders here they just won't take them unless they go off feed for 3 weeks... and I understand I won't set everything up and then be ready to go the next day... I just thought once a colony was set and established that it would be more cost efficient than going through a pet store which wont be as great of a feeder.... And I wouldn't think that 6-10 tubs would be all that much work seein as they don't really need to be cleaned but once a week and a daily check to make sure everything is running smoothly....
