Never seen them eat?

[hannah]

hey i have 2 cfbn for the past 4 months and i am yet to see them eat, i often fing black poo in the tank, is it supposed to be dark and blobby? (i know this is a silly q but i`m curious)
also, how deep should the water be, i have it bout 5 centimetres- that ok?

Hannah, what are you feeding them? Do they look more skinny? Yes, that sounds like poo, so either they are eating something, or else it's just residual material from what was in their bellies before you got them (slow metabolism). If they are aquatic, their water could be (and probably should be) deeper. Read the FAQ here:

I also have a cfbn, and i rarely see him eat. I don't know if its because he is shy, but the food is always gone if I leave him alone for awhile. Also, mine only eats once every few days, which I hear is pretty normal. I don't know how often you feed yours. I agree with Jennifer about the water though, I have mine in at about five or so inches, so I make sure he has room to swim around, just make sure you have somewhere that he can crawl out of the water if he wants to.

ya they have a rock island, i feed them freeze dried blood worms and brine shrimp. the shrimp disappears so i think they like it more. i feed them every 3 days. one is fat and one is skinny the way he was when we bought him. they only recently started staying in the water- i used to wet them incase they got too dry.
thanx.
