Thank you very much for your suggestions, everyone! Great tips on what you guys do with "leftovers".

It is sounding like I need to change my thawing method in order to get better results. Currently, I'm thawing at room temperature over the course of a few hours and then, once thawed, hitting them with a hairdryer until they get up to temperature (at least 100 like suggested). That is what has worked for everyone over the past year when they were young and growing quickly. If I thawed in water, I could be more efficient and not thaw out as many at a time now that they are slowing a bit (maybe only do half, see who eats, and go from there).

Another thing I'm hoping will help is moving my collection into racks in a couple of months (love AP, but have to be patient with their lead time). With them in T8s right now, it is tough for me to stay hidden while sliding the door open to their glass front displays. Racks will also give me the option to do a few of the things Justin suggested in his feeding article.

I'm glad to hear that others have gone through the same!
