YAY!!!! The last little hold out just had a piece of worm and a guppy! I left her in a small container, for the 3rd time - was kind of running out of options and getting a little worried, but she did it! YAY!!!! I'm so happy! They'll be 2 weeks old tomorrow & all 9 have at least eaten something. Most multiple times. Whew! Now that I know she's got a little something in her belly I'll move her back in with the rest of the crew next time they are all fed. The rest ate yesterday and I'm a little worried about putting her in with them right away... she smelled like a guppy, even to my wimpy human nose, so not taking any chances.
Btw, have no clue if she's really a 'she'... wanted everyone eating first and didn't have enough enclosures to separate non-feeders & split into male female groups. Plus didn't want to stress anyone any more than necessary. I figure a couple more successful meals this week and then I'll start working on visually sexing them into groups.
Whew!!! What a relief... two weeks out and everyone eating.... think all are safe now? Or not necessarily? Any other thoughts or advice for me?

TamiOh. Because you know, it seems to me that, aside
from being a little mentally ill, she's pretty normal.

Thanks Emily, Steve & Marnie! Btw, I don't think I could help myself from keeping you posted if I tried

Re: New Baby Pics
Great news!! Congrats on the babies and the eating. Getting that first bite is such a great thing to watch! I remember last year when my babies finally took a bite I was also grinning ear to ear and jumping up and down with excitement. Keep up the good work!!

Thanks Kat! I didn't actually get to watch this first bite, but that's ok. I'm still thrilled
