Feeding my JD's

[craigthor]

Just a quick question. My male Jack hadn't eaten in 2 weeks now he is eating Earthworms how often is enough but not to much; also the same with crickets as I put 3 in and the female ate atleast 2 if not all 3 of them? Jack has eaten 2 worms so far one last night and one today. Will try and get him o nsome frozen stuff he loves Krill but once I start giving him that he won't eat anything else.

have you tried them solely on a good qaulity pellet?
i would do this and this only until they start eating it,,,,,then only every so often treat them to chopped worms/spiders/crickets etc

Finally he ate some NLS off the subtrate today. My main problem he has never been an aggressive eater where the female that I found is. So while she was eating he came and started picking up the extras I was throwing in. I will be glad once I get his tail rot treated 7 more days of treatment.
