Ok, so we like Reptomin baby! BUT the pellet is still too big for him. I can get 1/4 of it in his mouth, then he swims around until it softens and swallows the 1/4 bit then leaves the rest I've tried softening it first (it just falls apart though), I've tried breaking it into smaller peices but then I can't grasp it right with the tweezers/feeding tongs. What do I do? I still have to bump him inn the nose a couple times before he opens his mouth real wide for it, so he won't take it on his own by scent yet.
He's also stopped swimming lopsided, taking his antibiotic injections well, and is a tough little thing! He prefers to spend most of his time resting in the shallow water on one of the "steps" un the waterland tub though. Is that from the blindness? If I put him on the land part he's more active and keeps his head/legs out of the shell now instead of staying tucked in...but still won't go from water to land or vice versa. I guess that'll come in time?
