I never got around to forcing sp.candy bar to eat pellets. She'll only eat tilapia. I don't feel like they get the best growth on strictly chopped fish so last week I started feeding only pellets been 10 days of her refusing them. I'm confident I'll break her but the biggest concern is the small wolf.

I've never had a poly refuse pellets for more than a few days. So this is a challenge


Let's see who can guess how long she'll hold out. I'm saying 19 days total.

What's your guess on how long it will take ?

Sp. Vancouver is the same way. Only eats tilapia and she's getting way too Juicy. I've gone 3 weeks without tilapia. My big indo datnoid only eats tilapia. So that is my struggle cuz it will starve itself. It's a sad sight to watch her eat pellets. It's like watching a toddler eating brussel sprout.

Sp. Candy guess would be 986 days
 
I'll give her 24 days.

my moke does that with pellets too. She loves tilapia though. She'd rather starve for an extra two days, than eat the pellets hahaa.
