Yeah - Go easy on misting the 'usambara'. And they'll take other body parts too, just find which of the three is more of an 'aggressive feeder' and give that one what you would regard as the 'crappy parts'. A good piece of advice is that the food doesn't have to be moving in order for them to feast upon it.

Waste not, want not!

You're pleased with the set up for them? usambara got plenty of dry substrate to 'burrow' in/on/around etc?

Hope that helps! Just don't go overkill on the misting
