Albino male won't eat!!

BoaLijah Jul 01, 2006 08:11 AM

About a month ago I bought a baby pair of albinos and they were FEDEXed to me. The female has been an eating machine and has pounded 7 mice, but the male will not eat!!! They were the same size when they arrived (from the same clutch) but the baby male is now looking like a Night Crawler earth worm while the female is fat and healthy.

I have been trying EVERYTHING to get this little guy to eat unnsuccessfully. CAn anyone possibly help and get the little fellow eating??

the past two days I enclosed him with live fuzzies in a small, enclosed, tupperware container, and today he finally ate three live fuzzies!! Victory!! Praise the Lord!

thanks,

Teddy

I was going to suggest isolation and fresh meat.
I have a albino that won't take F/T. It has to be live.
even then, he's in no hurry to get at it. Once I'm comfortable with him feeding well, I'll start working towrds prekilled and then F/T.
