    Thanks for the recommendation. Do they eat daily or are they one of those “I eat a shit ton at once and I’m good for a week” kinda guys? I’m out of town a lot and don’t think I’ll find anyone willing to care for em, haha.

      They eat somewhere between 1-2 times a week and like once everymonth or so 😅. They are totally fine being completely ignored for up to a week (probably two) and honestly would probably survive WAY longer than that with no ill effect. Once they are settled they basically just keep going as long as their temps are fine (which is to say, if your comfy likely they are too. caveat, I live in New England and we let our house get to low60s which is too cool but 68+ is fine. I use a super low watt ceramic heater to keep their IKEA cube shelves warm enough)
