Invest a few $ in an automatic feeder and that can take care of at least one feeding cycle for you. I use an auto feeder set up to feed 3 times during the photo period. I supplement the evening feeding with frozen when I'm at home. I find it takes my critters a good half hour to forty minutes to really come around and get comfortable. They tend to be quite careful and shy for the first little while. They into a good 'feed' mode after that half hour and I think much of any food I put in there immediately after the lights come on would go to waste.
