1. I hand feed my two rubber eels. At the moment I am giving them 1 med. nightcrawler every few days. They are both about 15" long. Is this enough food for them or should I be giving them more, cuz they spend a couple hours looking for more food after I feed them?

2. Because I hand feed them, they associate the smell of my hand with the food. Normally if just my hand goes in the water they just smell it looking for food. But when I go to feed them they sometimes get very excited and start trying to bite my hand. So far they haven't bit me, but I am wondering if they can do any real damage if they bite or if it is nothing to be worried about?

3. I don't know how often they are shedding. This is because my boeseami rainbows tend to eat the skins the moment they appear :sick: . Is it ok for them to do this or should I try to avoid it?

thanks,
