    First bite :)

    Was trying to help red baby GTP to eat, still hasn't eaten, and the baby got a little mad at me Didn't hurt but it was so cute Wish the food was what was struck at though

    Anyway, here is a pic as I know you guys like


    Yellow baby has eaten once but has not eaten again.

    Grr, this is a very trying process for sure!

    Agreed. Darn things are stubborn after shipping.

    No....they are stubborn until they are well-established.lol. How big are they and what are you feeding them? I have a little experience with baby chondros.

    Well from everyone I have talked to I've been told the shipping process stresses feeding babies out, but if you mean they are stubborn when young, yeah I agree. (*Edited, sorry had to reread)

    They are very small still, june hatch date iirc, and I'm trying to feed them pinkies. Have tried p/k and live. Got the yellow to feed once and the red hasn't eaten. The yellow has not eaten a second time but both are showing a little interest. Just not enough to taste.

    There are lots of tricks to get them feeding. When I get home this afternoon I'll get on the laptop and give you a list of what could help. I'd like to see you get them going and succeed with them. Babies are the most stressful part of keeping chondros.

    Looks bloody for a little baby bite. I'm just waiting to get bit. Every time I look at pictures of GTP skulls I shudder to think about my first time getting tagged. Good luck getting them to eat consistently!

    Welcome to the bite club, lol. I got tagged a while back by a 50+g baby chondro and I have to say it stung worse than a 500+g BP bite, LOL.

    And good luck with them too . Hope they eat for you soon.
