Help.
Okay the new albino Burm (genesis) that we bought will ABSOLUTELY POSITIVELY NOT EAT F/T.
We've tried everything we've ever read on here. Nothing at all. Even trying to force feed, he just throws it out of his mouth. And he is stubborn.
I don't really feel like p/k'ing anything, I never will; I don't agree with it.
But do I have any options? Help?
This means you, Boaterr!! Help!!

Re: Help.
Let him settle in for a while. How many time have you tried feeding?

Re: Help.
unless the animal is severely debilitated, then force feeding after 2-3 weeks is not really necessary.
I would give him/her another week or two.
Just give it time, I've never seen a burm that would refuse f/t |

LOL!! Sorry, I think I can laugh a little about this since I know and feel your pain. Boaterr and I have discussed this at length and something does seem to be up with Bob Clarks line of Albinos. I have not offered mine food for a little over a month and tonight I will see what happens. Hopefully he will be hungry enough to take F/T, if not I will try the Boaterr method. Good luck and if you figure anything out let me and Boaterr know.

Thanks man. It's kinda funny, but he's getting severly debilitated at this point, he really doesn't have much strength.
I was told he was a few weeks old, and has eaten ONCE. Stupid thing needs to eat 
And PM me the "Boaterr method" haha. I want to know this.
