    F/T Success
    Yay, I finally got my live feeder to take F/T. I figured once he got hungry enough he would eventually eat. I tried alot of the "tricks" but each time he refused I would give in and offer a live prey. I finally decided enough was enough. I weighed him each week to keep track of his weight and started offering F/T only. If he wasn't interested I left them in his tank over night. The first two were still there the next morning so I tossed them. So tonight was the third week with no food and it was about 2 hours after I left it in the tank I saw him eating it up. I also switched from Aspen to paper so I don't have to worry about him ingesting any wood...

    I have noticed that after switching to paper I am changing it out more. Aspen is easier to spot clean, scoop out the dirty, toss in a handful of clean. I'm thinking I may have to start cutting the paper into sections so I only have to change part of it. It's amazing how gory F/T's can be sometimes...
