    Re: Running out of tricks, need advice

    One of my adults hasn't eaten for weeks while the other one has been fine. It's been at least two months since she's had anything at all.
    She seems fine otherwise but I did try force feeding her last night because I thought, I simply had to try and make sure she's take something. She was not impressed and I felt quite sorry for her so left her in peace after a few minutes without having managed to get her to eat.

    The two tetrataenia are mere slithers, too. Very, very occasionally they will nibble on a bit of worm but really not enough to make them grow. It's so sad when you just can't get them to accept anything .

    My tetrataenia are eating like it's going out of fashion! It's just the pickeringii that's giving me grief!

    Same thing with mine. It won't eat fish, which is what the previous owner was feeding it, but that little piece of string will chug down entire pinkies like there's no tomorrow.

    The vagrans twins are even better, they will strike the pinkie with force. I know I will have to name them something that describes their appetite sooner or later.

    I'd like to see an up-to-the-minute pic of your vagrans, Stefan.

    Very nice pics!!
    As for your non-eater, it sounds like if she keeps going this way, she may just be stubborn enough to hold out until spring when you can find worms for her again!!
    I can't believe how long she's gone without eating!
