Paige and Dickson.

[adamanteus]

As most of you will be aware, Lulu's albino T.marcianus had babies a few weeks ago. Most doing fine and are now on pinky parts.
However there are two exceptions.... Paige & Dickson.... who steadfastly refuse to eat anything.
Lulu has asked me if I would take this pair on, and see if I can turn things around. If I can, they're mine!



I thought it might make an interesting thread if I was to keep you all updated with their progress (or lack of it) and the things I try to get them started. Maybe a chance to take some 'force-feeding' pictures etc.

For now I have housed them in a small plastic box with small water bowl and a single hide. I have raised the temperature slightly and allowed the humidity to rise abnormally high.... enough to cause the paper towel substrate to crinkle slightly.

I'll keep you informed.

Good luck with them! I'm quite confident they will start eating...one way or another!

I have nothing but confidence that Paige and Dickson are in fully capable hands, Keep us posted, James.

Just some advice: One of my checkered babies is kind of a "slow" eater. She doesn't really have the appetite her brother has. However, what she always goes after is live fish. The jerking movements seem to really kick her predator skills into gear.

Best of luck to you, James!! Hope to hear that you have a healthy, hungry pair soon!
Go Paige & Dickson!!!!

If anyone can get them going, it's certainly you James... I look forward to their progress!!
