Wow that's cool! I did the opposite for my guy to eat... my pied male was in a 32qt when i first got him and he wouldn't eat until after i spoke to a few breeders and was suggested to put him in a 15qt or smaller and add bedding and a smaller hideout. Of course a week later, he first striked at me(which he never did) and then i offered him live and he ate(3 months after 1st getting him).Originally Posted by Dracowoman2
I've got a 2009 male pied that is probably only around 500g, when I first got him he had only ever eaten live, which is not a problem for me. As he was small I kept him in a small tub as I would have for my own babies. he went around 4 months without eating anything that I offered him. It was then suggested to me that I move him into a Vision V-70 tub!! I did this and he looked lost in there, however one night I left a small defrosted and warmed weaner rat in there with him and low and behold the next morning he had eaten it!! This went on for a good few months, and now he is nailing live again. My long winded point is that is could just simply be a case of changing their living situation that gives them that push to start nailing food.
I've also heard the same thing about albinos as well by the way.
Sorry for the essay
