My ck is about 16", he loves earthworms, I want to add boiled shrimp to his diet, is this a suitable food alternative?

I feed mine shrimp all the time cooked and uncooked. he feeds from my hand. granted my guy is only around 1' in length. He also eats any kind of sinking pellets aswell as feeders. I was trying to get my datnoid onto pellets but ended up weening my CK onto them.

If my one eyed CK can find and eat pellets I'm sure you could train yours.

Shrimp are good, but don't cook or boil them...they lose nutrients like that if I'm not mistaken
