"Where the hell is all the blood going?" Alex wondered as he watched the Pillbugs drown in his blood, still drinking away everything as though they had been thirsting for this their entire life.
They stopped drinking after a while, but only because they needed to absorb what they ate, and not because they were satiated. They took a day or two to digest everything they ate, and then they began everything again.
Alex wasn't sure how the Pillbugs functioned, so for now he fed them as much of his blood as he thought was needed. Just 10 of them were consuming so much, so he could only wonder how the situation would be when there were thousands.
He had checked the insects, and from the looks of it, only 4 of them were females, so only they could lay eggs. Still, since each insect could lay up to 1000 eggs, he would have many mouths to feed in the coming days.
He could only hope that they satiated based on the quality of the blood, which he would certainly improve in the coming days.
