my baby boxes realy like those little bloodworms in water. you have to put them in water. but babies like to eat in the water anyways. theywil eat alot of things in the water, like plants and fruits and bugs. you have to make sure everything is tiny for them. mine realy like duck weed but only the littest kind of duck weed. the blood worms are realy tiny too. little foods and in the water. those are the secrets for baby boxes
