    Finally!

    My albino male is finally eating again ! He has taken 4 meals in a row now, before this he hadn't eaten in about 6 months and the times that he did were pretty spread out.
    His 100% het albino sister from same clutch is 500 grams, he is barely under 200 so its quite a difference. I was thinking about resorting to force feeding him but I'm glad he finally took he seems to be gaining pretty good, he was 156 grams before he started eating again!

    Cool Re: Finally!

    Glad he's eating again and gaining weight. My first albino starved him self to death almost 2 years ago I refused to force feed him. I have my own believes on force feeding. The only albinos I have in my collection now are a albino pin and albino spider both picky and private eaters.

    I know it's just bad luck but every albino I've owned I've had feeding problems with.

    That would really suck to loose pet cause they didn't wanna eat sorry for your loss! I can't wait to produce some of my own albino morphs!

    I read somewhere that albinos always seem to be trouble not sure if that's the case but I sure am happy he is eating, hoping to breed him next season!
