My hatchling Gus went through a short period of not eating much. I live in cold climate and the seasons changed and that is always to be expected. Well as I got the temperature adjusted and moved him into a larger tank with 2 year old Squirtle, Gus has become a eating machine. He snaps wildy at anything that moves. I feel like the Croc Hunter every time I have to pick him up to clean the tank, Crikey! He gets so excited he flips over. He's been such a pig that he'll even eat Reptomin! Anyone else have a snapping maniac? We've had Squirtle for two years and though he loves to eat he has never been a snapping fool like Gus. Maybe he's not getting enough to eat?
