Anyone starved a Datnoid to death??

[vanimate]

How large was the NGT?

About four inches. He is still skinny and I'm guessing its gonna take awhile before he gets his weight back on and starts growing. He's right there now with the others when feeding time rolls around though.

3 weeks with baby 1.5" NTT

The longest I had to starve a tiger to eat prepared foods was 2 weeks.

Im getting ready to do a starvation period again to try to get them on pellets.

Hi guys

I got a 7" IT about 1 month ago.....only fed on MP and beefheart. Been starving it to get it to try and take hikari carnivore pellets.......have not eaten at all for 1 month....and no interest whatsoever.

Will he die of starvation???? I don't think so but would like to hear from your experience..

A Diet of \mp and beefherart is not so bad. should get good growth rate.

Vanimate: Hows your NGT doing after that marathan starve session.Has it caught up normal health yet?
