My banana wouldn't take thawed right away. He had only eaten live before I got him. I like to feed outside of there tanks. After feeding him 2 live hoppers in the feeding tub on the third attempt he knew it was time to eat when i put him in there. As soon as i got the thawed in front of his face he took it with extreme force!!! He ate it in less than 5 min than gave me the stink eye because he didn't get to do the work. It worked out well and he is now taking frozen/thawed with no issue now.
