Hey Guys received my p13 on Tuesday night. So far its been 72 hours and the ray started eating bloodworms yesterday, just wanted to know how to fatten him up because he eats only a little at a time, he is 12 inches
Earthworms are like crack for my Henlei's and they are great sources of protein. Certainly not a sustainable base food, but good for getting your ray to start eating. At that size, you should be feeding MP, too. Be sure to cut it up into small pieces until it learns to take larger ones.
Ok, did mike not tell you what he was eating? Mike should gave been feeding him 2-3 types of food in preparation if sending him tingly. Ie. Worms, mps , etc
Mine take earthworms and market prawn interchangably, no problem. Trick is to offer worms as a treat, and that's it. They're not really a viable base food from a cost perspective but IMO for fattening up, they're the best.
