Those of you that have raised checkereds, I could use some advice.
My one and only group of babies born on the Ranch refuse to eat worms unless I bait them into eating them. I use a small container with cut-up night crawlers and a few guppies flopping around. They will eat the worms only because they think they are grabbing guppies. If I try to use worms only I have a bunch of hungry snakes that ignore the worms.
Anybody got any suggestions as to how I can get these guys to eat worms, other than baiting them.
Not a single Checkered born will eat the worms alone.
