No Interest in Feeders

Feldman just watched as the blue bottle fly walked along the vine and onto his leg.

Lol! Sorry but that's a cute picture. He's like "Eh, you expect me to eat that?". Lol!

Have you tried other feeders?

That feeder seems a little small to me

I doubt he was only given one to eat. Besides, he didn't want it anyways.

Feldman will normally will actively stalk flies in his enclosure, even smaller house flies. Typically he will eat around six in rapid succession. He never has cared for roaches, so his lack of interest in them doesn't surprise me. He is also turning his nose up at his usual favorites, superworms and butterworms.

Hm, maybe you should try something different. He might have gotten tired of those... Weird little dude.

LOL he looks like he is thinking "Flies again ugh"

Do you skip days in his feeding?

 

[steelheadchaser]

I was feeding every-other day, but since becoming finicky I have been offering him something every day in hopes of finding something that will catch his interest. Flies always got his attention before when he would get picky, so this was quite a surprise. I've been varying the shapes and sizes of his grub looking for the right combination that he just can't say "no" to.

I would go back to every other day. If you are offering good variety he will eat when he is hungry enough. Sounds like he is training you lol.
