Thanks for all the replies, you guys have me confident.

Chris, the hoppers are definitely too small, i've only fed them once but i knew as soon as they gobbled the hoppers down that they were way too big for that. my problem is finding live food :-/ the pet store nearby doesn't carry rat pups. I guess he orderes all of his feeders and doesn't do any breeding himself. I will probably have to make a little bit of an adventure to grab some rat pups, and hopefully not too long after that, they'll be eating f/t. again thanks for all of your help guys.
