Rescued Dat

[Vanica]

He's eating shrimp like a pig. Also been supplementing his diet with "Emerald Entree" frozen cube that has a lot of plant matter and whatnot mixed with shrimp and krill. He likes that. Still won't take pellets but I'm not forcing the matter yet.

Wow, what a change!

Well done sir. Much respect.

Good job. Looks much better and nice pattern to it.
Why not give it some earthworms to really bulk it up more?

 

[Vanica]

I'm trying to keep away from live foods so he doesn't get more picky than he is. Soon as I feel he has enough weight I will start pellet training.

 

[robroy]

If you use them as a treat you'll be fine and it'll fatten him in no time at all

 

[krichardson]

Glad that he's coming along nicely,have you tried stuffing the shrimp with pellets yet?

 

[Vanica]

He won't take real shrimp. Don't know why but he will only eat the little freeze dried ones and mysis.

 

[robroy]

That's my point-if that's all it's feeding on it'll be a long time for it to get fat

 

[krichardson]

yeah,give it another week or so of whatever it will eat and then let it fast for about a week and try the raw shrimp.Most dats can't resist raw shrimp, I think they may eat some kind of shrimp in the wild along with small fish.
