not dumb at all. I do it just because my usually spits out the shell anyways. But, the shell is essetially very healthy for the wolf because it has alot of nutrients in it. Worth to try both. Even better, i would go to the super market and buy some smaller frsh fish that's not smelt.

I agree with lix on this. If you're feeding fillets, try to leave the skin on too. There's a lot of nutrients in the skin and the fat between the skin and meat that are lost if you trim it.

The fish are missing the good stuff (guts, skins, and even the bones) when just feed them fillets. It's best to give them the whole package.

IDK but wolves are very hard to breed. It's been done before in the 1920s or 30s.....

Generally, females are thought to be more bulky than males.. However I understand that it can be difficult to distinguish it if you don't have the other half of the sex ratio to compare it with.

There has been some success cases of captive H. malabaricus breeding in NJ, USA in early/mid 2000.. There was also someone from Japan who bred them shortly after. Both of them touted that it is not as difficult as people say it is.. I'd love to see someone breed H. curupira or better yet H. aimara.
