My rtg, would eat daily. its about 14 to 15 inch now.

it would eat 1 to 2 whole shrimp a day stuffed with massivre delite

i have a rule, to not spoil it as my jardinii got spoilt.
If it doesnt fill up on shrimp - it doesnt get its mealworms.

I breed mealworms, and freeze them when they become large ad turning into pupas.

after feeding my rtg shrimp, it starts t refuse shrimp as its full, you can see a belly bulge....But it will ALWAYS keep eaating mealworms after, even if it has had 1 to 2 shrimp and starts refusing shrimp.

funny
any ideas how i can make it keep eating shrimp to completely stuf itself?
it doesnt seem to have that issue whe i stuff it after the shrimp with mealworms, itwill eat another big shotglass worth of mealworms.
 
Mabye consider the weight of each food, this is why your aro seems to fill up quicker on pellet stuffed shrimp.

Why on earth do you want to overfeed your aro anyhow? You really believe that would be healthy?
