A lot. . . .

Ya I've figured that out sometimes there's a downside to having all those

Id guess At least 5000+ pin heads or FF's a week at first, more with the feeder dye off.
Also you will need multiple setups, ligthing, watering, CLEANING, setup decor, ect.

I was thinking about putting them in a 2 by2by 4 and flipping it on its side and putting them all in one but ya a lot of money

pinheads get real pricey what i do is feed fruitflies lots of em, ya have older chams buy adult crickets an put layen bins in there bin let em lay eggs an hatch out your own pinheads youll still end up buyen some... oh also another feeder i find works real good with babies are mantids.. you get oths an let them hatch out an feed em off as they hatch out.. baby chams love baby mantids. baby silk worms also great feeder but i stay away from worms to lil chams.... lil slikworms look to much like lil ones tails i find it saves on nipped tails leavin out silk worms till older an split up but thats just me..

I have 53 eggs laid Oct 1. Like an expectant parent, I'm worrying about what to get, when to get it, and how am I going to do this? I raise mantids and have fruitflies, so I think I'll be ok for feeders, maybe? I also have a dubia colony and an looking into mealworms more for the mantis, but an easy treat for the chams.
The 2x2x4 idea is what I'm going with again. I did it when I got my veileds as babies, but I separated it.

Good luck with your new arrivals. I started with 62 eggs, but 9 molded over and went bad. All the rest seem to be doing ok.
