OK.. so my axie tank is HUGE (400L) so feeding is a bit of a problem. As in, if one is in the corner, I wouldn't be able to reach.
So, currently there is only one axie in it, Banana (Avatar, and no, I don't have that substrate anymore).
So I have a breeder-fry saver- net thing, and the idea came to me -
Put the net in sideways, and I can train Banana to only eat in that.
So, I put it in sideways, turned the light on (a dim blue, very pretty. There is another one but is like Hospital bright, so I don't use that).
Then, I netted Banana and put the net in the doorway of the fry-saver. She swam into the fry-saver (getting out of the net). I then gave her the beloved worms, once she saw food was coming, she wasn't going ANYWHERE.
Turning the light off, I left her.. Banana swam out to do the things axies do.
Will this work? The plan is to do this long enough so when I turn the light on, she will just swim in herself.
Any tips?
So, this is also helpful if she misses the food. That way it is easy for her to see/get, or for me to pick up and try again.
