    JCP not eating

    he ate 2wice before i got him..

    now i offered live pinks.. left it in tank for about 2 hours.. not luck.. i dangled it over his head.. he bit me 5 times.. then he started getting aggressive.. biting me 10-15 times.. even when i held him.. so i flushed the pink down the toilet..

    any suggestions? besides offering in a couple of days

    You can try braining and chicken broth, but at this point I think that waiting a couple of days is your best option.

    waiting to feed won't hurt him... i'd give him a week.

    Let him settle in. You are only stressing him out and that is why he is striking at you. Give him a week and try another pink ^^
