The main reason I feed separately in feeding containers is so I know who ate what when, and can keep a precise record of feeding by each individual.

That is great you keeping records. but you should just feed them as much as they will eat and offer food often. Not on a schedule. Especially if you are working with breeding animals.

try this. Get some northern rubber boas. they only eat a few months out of the year and then shut down in july. When they eat. they need to be stuffed. At least that is the way the w/c rubbers I had from washington state were. if not , they will languish and not breed or even starve to death.

As far as the video. i have thought about that and discussed it with CBI. That is something that needs to be shown where we throw in a pile of 15 chicks and whatch as a group of 4-5 kings take turns feeding. It might be a long video. But I am sure when that is shown the naysayers will find something wrong with it.
