    Going on two weeks now. They are in 5 gal tubs with three sides covered, water dish, temps variable from 83 to 86 down to 78 ish at night. Humidity is 80 percent. They have a day night cycle of light in the room. Dunno what else to say. Basically all the same set up as my previous pacman that I posted about here over a year ago. Just dunno why these guys aren't acting like the rest.

    Have you tried tong feeding? Could help the missers out alot. Not sure how the average baby pacman responds to tongs though, mine doesn't seem to notice them at all.

    Try and maintain a consistent temp for a few days. 78° or 80°. Don't let the temp fluctuate during this period.

    Glad to be able to inform you guys the little guys are eating on their own with a little help. I went out today to get some blocks of coco fiber to do tank maintenance and decided to buy some night crawlers. I cut off small pieces and rubbed them against the little guys faces with tongs and sure enough they opened up and in goes the worm pieces. One took two and the other one. They didn't eat for 11 days straight. Y'all think they will be stunted since they didn't eat for so long?

    I don't think 11 days will stunt them, it would take months of underfeeding.

    It is possible, but as long as they begin to eat regularly they should not become stunted.
