Dwarf Lion Eating

[crazyc]

My Dwarf Lion is finally eating prepared food. I thought I would never be able to wean him off live food but he's eating them left and right and keeps on wanting more. The only down side is that I have to throw food in the current so he'll think it's alive. Other than that I'm glad he's taking prepared food now. WOOOOOHOOOOO!!!!!

Id like to take the time to congradulate you and... MYSELF!!... for having our dwarfs eat prepared food. I just got mine to eat silversides last night. One acchivement on the road to other fine foods, such as shrimp and scallops!! YAY!

WOW that's great! It is a big achievement…..Congrats to you too. I had to starve him for a couple of days but it was well worth it. BTW what types of food will be the best for his diet? I’m just feeding him krill right now.

Krill, other forms of shrimp, maybe some smaller silversides. Silversides are nice, but miz that in with the krill and maybe mysid shrimp as well. Some frozen squidd if u get the chance too. No clams or anything, it isnt a natural part of their diet, like, they dont have the ability to obtain clams and stuff in the ocean, right?
