    dont lose your patience. sometimes it takes a while to switch from live. I switched mine from live to f/t, female took right away, male took him 2 months. if you go back to live then it will just take that much longer to get him to eat pre killed or f/t. unless he doesnt eat in a few months then i would feed him live again.

    am i reading this right.. you used to feed in a seperate tub and now your trying to feed in his tank?

    if this is the case feed him live in his tank for a few weeks then try frozen. your changing everything about the way he eats at once. do it in steps. no need to feed out of his tank anyway.
