Hey guys, so I decided to feed my Motoro Stingray pellets. It been a week and he still avoiding the pellets. Any suggestions? The only thing he eats are bloodworms, but they are so messing. I also tried the starvation method. I starved him for 2 days, and he still avoid the pellets.

I put some pellets inside prawns and slowly got my ray use to the taste. It took a while but it worked.
Well, my stingray doesn't eat anything other than bloodworms... I try feeding him brineshrimps, shrimps, and other food, but he just neglected it.
Put a few tablespoons of water in a cup. Put Earthworms inside cup. Chop to tiny pieces with scissors inside of cup. Remove worm pieces so there's only worm water. Soak pellets until saturated. Feed.

I hope this helps. You will need a strong stomach for some of the things. I had a hard time chopping up the earthworms (Canadian nightcrawlers) into 1/2-1" segments and then shoved the body cavity with floating Hikari Carnivore Sticks. Violent but works great.

I get my pups eating diced worms then slowly add broken carnivore pellets mixed in, just increase the amount of pellets slowly.
