Re: replace?
I usually feed them before I go to bed and take out anything they haven't ate in the morning.

Re: replace?
I usually offer for anywhere from a few days to a week before replacing with something else. To avoid mold I recommend replacing every one to two days (crabs are unaffected but mold can be a hazard for us)

Re: replace?
I leave food in until it is fuzzy and moldy. For fresh foods that is usually 24-48 hours, and for dried foods it can be up to a week!
