I added catfood as a supplement because a previous post stated that catfood exclusively had been used successfully in FF baby zonatas and that is was more nutritious than pinkies, resulting in faster growth. I took a more conservative approach and used about 80% pinky and 20% cat food. I tried it out on a "lemon" noneater baby Pueblan Milk first that was small and thin. After three FFs he took a live pinky so it seems to work so far. I used it only once on the agalma. Hopefully she'll start feeding on her own after brumation.
