I have a NGT that's really stubborn. I bought him 3 months ago and I tried to starve him onto pellets. I starved him for about 3 weeks but he never once made a move to get the pellets. Then I switched to shrimp and tried that for 2 weeks, but he wouldn't eat that either.
After that, he was looking really skinny. I started giving him red wiggler worms and he ate those. He also started eating bloodworms. I've tried mixing bloodworms with pellets and shrimp to get him to eat it, but he just won't do it.
I really like this NGT, but pellet training is a real pain. I can't even get him to eat shrimp. Would he be ok and grow normally if I kept feeding him nothing but red wigglers and bloodworms? He looks healthy and he's always stable. I just think maybe he's not going to grow to full potential by eating worms only.
