hen's eating habits

[chris85]

all my rays love live worms. i had a real job getting them to eat other foods they loved them that much.

No lie there chris... My motoro pup will eat on krill, but she DEVOURS some worms haha

thanks all
i will just try to feed them more. my point was is that my hens are far more active than my motoros so my though was they burn more energy. i don't think it is parasite if so appitite would be poor.

How big are they ?

17" ray will take longer to beef up than 8" ray..

Try increasing the number of feedings per day and give them more time. If in the end they still
don't put on weight there is still the chance of tapeworm type of parasites that will not decrease
appetite but will steal the nutritional value of food, thus not allowing them to gain weight and bulk up.
Very similar to the human type of tape worm where someone can eat non stop and never gain weight.

I often read posts about stuffing one food in to another or chopped this or that but it seems odd to me as even my motor pup will eat massive straight out the tub along with whole lance fish, whole smelt and mussel....it seems odd to have to chop or disguise anything.....


I did buy from aquaman45 so maybe I am lucky that I bought quality.....?
