: Hi Guys;

: Just thought I'd share a little discovery with you all, my 2001 hatchlings has been in a little feeding slump for the past month, tried scenting pinkies with all kinds of fish (goldfish, herring, etc.) even my old trick of place shed ratsnake skins in with the frozen fuzzies didn't seem to be working. Soooo I figured I'll brush them with a piece of squid before coming back to my support group here for more tips & 'voi la' 3 fuzzies later 'Mambo' is back to regular ravenous eating habits. The female is as blue as pair of 501's will try the squid trick with her next week once she crawls out of her skin.

: Just thought in case anyone out there was experiencing any feeding problems you could file this one away for future reference. I also notice my adult male Tango after bashing the crap out of his dead rat takes the thing & soaks it in his water dish before gulping it down. Has anyone else seen this in their Indigos???? I figure it must aid in swallowing their prey where they don't constrict, smart critter these guys are. Any thoughts??

: Have a great weekend

: Dean
