Is feeding them feeders good
No. Hand feeding feeders that have been in quarintene are ok maybee every other week.

Ive yet to find anything my wild crays wont eat. Staple is algae wafers and carnivour pellets. brine, blood worms, veg, fruits, newt and turtle food. These guys go nutzzz on everything. Id be concerned if mine stopped be interested in food.
Could be about to molt. As evan said.
 
I recently took on 2 native crayfish and was surprised by their voracious appetites. I've been feeding them the same shrimp pellets as yourself, but also algae wafers and boiled zucchini. I put a couple of guppies in the tank too, I'm hoping one crayfish will get lucky and snag himself a meal.

Like the others, I agree it may be going into a molt. But you probably know your cray better than anyone. Maybe try another food.
 
None of my fish and crays like Wardleys(brand sold in Tom Thumb grocery store/emergency run)I feed my crayfish and dwarf shrimp,Hikari Crab Cuisine,they fight over which one is theirs.They know when feeding time and they all come to the front to await my dropping the pellets in...much sucess.
 
U Mentioned u feed them three times daily.. How much do u feed them..?? they would nt need up to three feedings a day.. probably once a day would be fine...
 
Erm I have 2 white crayfish in my tank(50cmx30cmx30cm). The female crayfish(3~4inch) is growing well and has been eating well, till it ate 1 of the smaller male crayfish and it has not molt for quite some time already. The other remaining male crayfish(2 inch) does not eat as well and has not molt since I bought it 2 weeks ago. I tried feeder fish/earthworms/carrot/sinking pallets/carnivore pellets but none of it actually work. Can anyone tell me why both of it has not molt for such a long time and why my male crayfish isn't eating?
