    Apparently, from my research, dekays also eat insects. So, maybe babies require small insects, such as crickets, roaches, or grubs, to eat.
    He's not quite a baby. He's over 7 in. long, so he not too far from being a full adult, from what I've read. I think he's somewhere between juvinle and adult.

    I was speaking for baby dekays in general. :P
    Maybe try crickets? Or grubs?

    I tried pinheads, even they were too large for Dekay babies. Some did eat bloodworms (the live kind you can get to feed baby tropical fish). Couldn't find any grubs. I had to give up or watch them all die.

    Do they sell bloodworms at pet stores?
