Force feeding big ray

[northrebel]

My p14 female has not eaten anything since giving birth on Boxing Day. Has any of you fellow ray keepers ever force fed a large ray looking for advice or techniques

Only about 2 weeks ? Does she look healthy still? If so, she may just need a little break / rest. Be patient.

Two weeks isn't really long enough to consider she's in any danger, especially being what must be a large, otherwise happy healthy ray.
Give her time imo

I agree with mike. 2 weeks is nothing.

A young pup will probably die without food and measures should be taken before that happens
But a adult Ray can go a good few weeks before the hip bones even start to show even longer before the dent starts to show between the eyes

If this force feeding has worked well for you in the past I'm more than willing to give you a hand as it will be a 2 man job feeding a adult Ray

Seems really odd that she is not eating. Have you gone back to trying worms?
Have you tried dividing her?

Offer her Canadian nightcrawlers. 2 weeks is not too terrible.

My advice would be to divide her Gregg,i think you will find she will eat within 7 days if you do..i would say she just wants a little rest from any stress.

offer dew worms, turn uv on maybe pazi to be safe and just time she will break

I think you will find he has tried all the above

Moved her to different tank
Every food mentioned including worms and river/ghost shrimp
