As your lion develops the feeding habit, this is exactly what he will do, he will nail anything that falls near him. My dwarf lions are so used to me feeding them, they'll hit whatever hits the surface of the water, even medicine tablets. They'll strike at all sorts of prepared foods now.
See if the lion will take the prepared food when you poke it in front of his mouth with a feeding stick. Or toss in some live food such as guppies and while he's gorging on them add a few krills as well.
wocka, in referece to eating its own young, the young lions have not developed their poison enough to where it would kill the mother, so I've read. I've never actually witnessed them as i've never tried breeding my dwarfs.
Yesterday another attempt to feed SPIKE, my dwarf lionfish, some frozen krill. As the krill started to sink to the bottom Spike gulped it down. I had to take another look and asked myself if he really did eat it. I couldn’t believe my eyes. I tried another krill but he didn’t take it this time. I’ve been feeding him Rosies and now he ate a krill. Does this mean that he’s ready to feed on prepared food? How would I wean him over?
