baby feeding advice

[gaplastina]

I have a male baby bumblebee, 120g. He ate f/t hoppers on 10/2 and 10/8 for me. He seems to have problems striking. He misses quite a bit which seems to put him off. I can see the wobble going when he gets ready to strike. I know babies should eat every 5 days or so, but he's not eaten since the 8th. My question is, should I keep trying every day? Or should I wait in between missed feedings? Since he is a baby, I worry about missing too many days.

My other concern is that since I'm offering something everyday, he may be starting to think that everything coming into his tank is food now. I was in there giving him water and moving a hide and he thought he should strike (of course he missed). I had not been handling any food so I know it wasn't the scent.

Any thoughts? Appreciate the feedback...

Don't try every day if he doesn't eat wait until the next week to try again.
He could be stressed from that, leave him be for a few days to calm down.
Everything should be fine as long as your meeting all his other needs.

^^^what he said

He may be striking because he's stressed, not because he thinks your food.
Give him a complete week and try again.
