    Finally, i was desperated īcause he wonīt eat (itīs been a month) and he was getting skinnier each day, and we force fed him with 6 small (1 cm). superfresh fish. Now, how much should we wait untill his new meal? Heīs like 30 cm. long.
    Heīs a T. scaliger.

    I would leave him alone for a week without disturbing him, then start all over again offering the foods you think he might take.
    Did you try him on a local frog of suitable size?

    I have a nearby pet store that gets tadpoles with their goldfish shipments. You might check with your local shops.
