I've had this little guy for about two months and yesterday was the first time that I actually witnessed him eating. I've fed frozen bloodworms/beef heart/shrimp as well as multiple types of pellets and have never seen a response. After reading some of the posts on here I decided to try some small live worms (red wigglers). As soon as they hit the water he was darting up to grab one. I was really glad to see this because up until a few weeks ago he was too shy to even come out during the day.
