Are Pewter more prone to be problem feeders?
I ask this question because about 2months ago I purchased a pair of pewters from Rich at the NARBC in Tinley Park. They ate on two separate occations and then after that they refused anything I put in front of them, anole scented pinks and even anoles.
I have read that Bloodreds can be picky just after hatching, but I have never heard of Pewters being a problem.
After going a month of not eating, I decided to try cooling them while they were still relatively healthy. The good news is that after cooling them in a mini-fridge at around 55 degrees for a month, they both took pinkys right out of my fingers. They were so ravenous that I think they would have taken my fingers also.
