Loose skin?

He doesn't eat tilapia. Working on that, but even scented he won't touch it.

What is popping the head of a worm?

[Starling96]

like popping off the head lol
or just cut it or whatever

[RedSidedSPR]

Oh..duh.

That's why I said you would need a large worm. They're basically just a tube. You could stick the meds inside there. Right now I'm trying to find something I can put the stuff in so that it won't get pulverized in the mail. At the very least, I need some little ziplocks so if it does get pulverized, each dose will be in a separate bag.

[RedSidedSPR]

No hurry.

A big worm, maybe cut in half, and stick it down the worm?

Maybe I can get him eating tilapia before you send it...

[ConcinusMan]

Yeah, I thought you were going to get some? If he eats silversides it shouldn't be too hard to get him to eat tilapia. You could stick it in a silverside too. Whatever you gotta do to conceal it and get him to swallow it will work.

[RedSidedSPR]

I have tilapia. My babies eat it, and silversides, but he won't touch either.

Glad he finally ate for you My male goes on hunger strikes fairly often and it's always stressful and always a huge relief when he eats! Good luck with the meds, too!

Perhaps he wanted to mate, but there aren't any women around. Snakey does that too, he goes until he looks bony, then I usually give in and put him in with Mama just so I can get him to eat.

[RedSidedSPR]

Thanks! He's not hugely hungry, but albleast he's eating
