I'm glad to hear he ate an earthworm! Funny thing is...even though easterns live primarily on earthworms in the wild around here...my easterns actually prefer pinkies and fish over worms at this point. At first it was difficult to get them to eat anything else...but I was worried about them living soley on worms so I slowly got them to try fish and pinkies...now it's difficult for me to get them to eat worms. I think salmon is actually their favorite food. My albino checkered has only had pinkies at this point, but I am trying to introduce him to salmon and trout.

I hope Cuddles eats some more for you...
