Has it eaten anything yet?

[DingasKhan]

Not that I have personally witnessed... The food seems to be disapearing that I drop in each morning, so I hope that's a good sign.

[Kansasslider]

Sounds good.

[MVB]

Yeah, he's probably just a shy eater.

If it's just pellets he's getting, those tend to break up and get sucked up in the filter or fall into crevices.

[MVB]

You could try putting some pellets or shrimp or something on the basking dock and leaving them there. When you get back, if they're gone, it most likely means he went up there and took them into the water to eat them. I do that sometimes and it's generally gone when I get back. Or I hear them go up there get it and plop back into the water.
