wow these little guys grow fast they are now 8 days old and i am guessing 3 times the size maybe 4 times from when they were hatched. i thought i would of lost a few but i still have all 28 that hatched (knock on wood) i was shocked at how much they can eat. i have one of thise little round 8 hole feeder and i now have to refill it more than once aday so i am adding a second feeder and waterer. will post pics later
