My little ones are around 3" now. Only 2 are eating the pellets, and we usually spit them out at least once before finally going down the hatch.
Do any seasoned Lotl owners have suggestions on making this transition to pellets a little easier?
We are literally dangling over the side with a pipette trying to keep it suctioned to the end while they are still hard and then when they get too soft they break apart like crazy from the suction. Our pellet spitting out routine takes a good 60 minutes of my day just trying to get the little boogers to eat. I didn't want to use tweezers since that could hurt them. Kitchen tongs are way too large for tiny pellets. The ones that do finally eat the pellets won't eat them out of the dish, I guess they can't see or smell them?
I know the pellets are good because I ordered them from Michael Shrom approx 2 weeks ago.
Any thoughts or suggestions or help is greatly appreciated!!!
