Since we are on the subject and it seems there are some experienced breeders commenting here, I had a question.

I have been breeding now for about 2 months or so. I have 3 trios that are producing very rapidly so I am very happy. However due to feeding off pinks, pups, and hoppers in the past, this is the first time that I will have the opportunity to have weaners and put them in a grow out tub.

My question is, what's the best way to determine a safe stage to seperate the weaner's? How do you know when they are eating blocks and not nursing anymore? I'd love to just sit and watch the hoppers/weaners for an extended period of time to see what they are eating or still nursing but being so busy it'd be much easier to just have a couple of easy indicators.

i'd appreciate any advice/comments! Thanks guys!
