I havent found a dry food mine would eat yet they dont tend to like smaller floating foods as well as larger portioned meaty foods.for a quick fix if you can get him to eat it cichlid pellets large if you can get him to eat those once in a while youve got it made thats the only dry food even large enough for a lion to concider but next problem is they float .ive always had a family member come stay and care for mine while i go away.good luck and if you find any other option please let me know im always looking for new foods to add to their menue

loins don't have to eat every day 2/3 times a week is enough.

I have a Dwarf Fuzzy Lion that eats anything that I put in the tank including flake food. the food has to be al least 3/16" for him to be interested in it though. About the only thing he won't eat is mussels in the shell. If I cut them out he eats them.

My lion eats dried krill. I usually soak them for a minute to get them saturated, but he goes right after them. The first few days I put them on a feeding stick and made them dance around. Now he just goes for anything floating around.

I had a lion that would eat freeze dried shrimp. It was actually much better for him than fresh food also since it was packed with nutrients.

may i ask what kinds of lions you had barkdog and boalgf. Thanks Madman133

I had a volitan lion. It wouldn't start out eating the dried shrimp, but once he got used to me feeding him, he ate the dried shrimp just as fast as the frozen. I have no idea how you'd get them to eat flake food though.
