Exciting new 2016 litter

If they get any more red we'll have to call the fire department! Terrific looking animals.

These guys are doing great to be such small babies, but i do have one little albino flame that won't eat anything i have to offer. I have tried nightcrawler chunks, pinky parts, cut fish, live guppies, and frog meat without any luck. I wish i could get my hands on some live small tadpoles. Maybe it is just failure to thrive, but i will give it 100% and hope for the best. I plan to try an earthworn if i can get my hands on some it's just been so dry here.

Hey, have you tried "tease feeding" him? Sometimes that will work. Also, you may have to separate him into a small Tupperware bowl and lid or deli cup until he takes a couple of meals while in that smaller setting. The competition of feeding with littermates may be too much and intimidating to some of them.

I had what I thought was a failure to thrive this year. A small female het golden flame. I couldn't get her to eat anything so I decided to start force feeding as a last ditch effort. I started with mouse tail tips every other day. Before long she started eating chopped pinks on her own and is now a power house feeder! Good luck!!

It actually ate a small guppie last night on it's own.

Thats great Shawn! Do you still have it in a group enviornment? Live can certainly be a stimulating and attracting force for a hatchling. Congrats.
