Is it possible for a T NOT to like something as food?
My 6" g.porteri seems generally scared of super worms. So much so that if I drop one in her tank,she turns tail quick and runs up the glass. Every time. Mind you she has NO interested in eating as she's 3wks post molt. But with crickets she just turns and walks away. Ignores it. Doesn't climb glass to get away.
Then my 1" n.chromatus won't eat meal worms. I feed with the head crushed and throw it in(as it won't eat while I'm in the room). Left it 24hrs(still alive,wiggling but head crushed). Removed it. Waited 2 days and tried again with a new worm.(it eats averagely every 3days a small cricket the size of its abdomen usually.)
Waited 24hrs. Worm was still there. Took it out and threw in a small cricket with head crushed.(I kill the food right now as I don't know it's molt pattern so don't wanna chance it by having prey in there when it decides to molt.)
Anyways within 30min I went back into the room and the cricket was gone.
So I'm assuming he doesn't like worms?lol
So my question is easy...do Ts have food preferences?
Also....should I just stick to crickets or still offer worms?(as I'd prefer a worm diet as it's easier to maintain with only 2 Ts)
Thanks.
Edited cause I hint enter to soon.
