Stimulating pyro feedings

snakeadventures Dec 07, 2009 11:51 AM

I have 2 young pyros with almost the same hatch date. The male eats pretty much twice a week and the female only about once a week if I'm lucky, even though she is offered f/t every few days. As a result, the male is more than twice the size of the female and has moved on to medium fuzzies. The female prefers the f/t pinkies whole. She won't eat them when they are brained or opened up in any way and also eats less when there is a constant water source (weird, huh?). Does anyone have any pyro tricks that may work or should I just settle for once a week? She still looks small enough to fit into her deli cup

Be glad you have once per week.Twice a week is rare

I am just comparing my pyros to my annulatas, which would probably eat every day if I offered.
