Thank you, both of you. I'll try feeding them every now and again with my hands and I guess I don't need the heat pad at all then...cool. It never goes under seventy in my house...my girls don't like the cold LOL. I was wondering if they need crix at all. I've been told yes and no. I don't like keeping crix around because I find them all over, but I really like these guys and don't want to not feed them right either.

Thanks again,
Jim
