Well, got a nasty surprize this morning. My extreme hypo who has been a subborn feeder from the get - go has decided to stop living on me. He ate every 2 days from the 2nd of Feb till the 16th, and then quit eating altogether. I tried live pinks, f/t, scented with an anole, brained and scented, brained, even as a last ditch tried a live small anole, but could never get him to eat again. Part of me wanted to find someone that could "pump" a few pinks into him to keep him alive, but then the other part believes that there just might have been something wrong with the little guy and force feeding him would have only prolonged the suffering. Either way the project I started to relieve some of the suffering I am going through with my divorce has decided to bite me in the butt. I guess that's the risk you take with these guys, you can't really ask them what they need or if anything is bothering them. It just sucks, that's all.
