Getting new dats to eat. Help!!!

[uncledave]

What is the best thing to feed new dats so they start eating again after being put in a new tank???

I have 8 new 3.5inchers that have not eaten in 2 days.

Thank you

give them some time and try bloodworms

I usually start them with small feeders

they're still new. they need more time to settle down. i say give it about 2 weeks to settle down. bloodworms is usually a good start

Live California Black Worms work good too.

they won't die if they go 2 weeks?

wost case try feeders to prolong life. after, use starvation method to get them off feeders

for small tigers i always start with bloodworm or chopped whitebait and prawns, i just chop it really small.

I have the same problem. I have a couple of NGT that I've had for 2 weeks and they haven't eaten anything. Hopefully they don't die on me...

I would use small foods like bloodworm and chopped up meaty stuff, but id give them more time to settle.
