Bro, try to mix MP with frozen GS then slowly your rays will take mp liao

The problem now is 1 of my ray dont even eat the frozen GS. It will chew a bit then spit out. How? What to do now?

give time, it will take eventually. some may chew n split out at first.but dont give up and dont feed anything else except other than mp.

cut it into small pcs, not too thick, from my own experience when i bought back my pup last time, i feed it with live bait torsat/small fish cos its been fed with these all along,so i just con't to feed live bait for about a mths + then tried to convert to mp.
at the start the pup will chew it but than it will split it out n swim away.
i try untill my guts tell me that maybe its the way i cut my mp, so i cut it into really small pcs and try BINGO hit the jackport! so maybe you can try to cut it into small small pc.

dont worry your ray will take the mp,maybe not today not tomorrow, but it will eventually.

Thanks for ur comment. U mean I should keep feeding MP even if the ray doesn't eat? For example, I cut MP into smaller pieces den throw in and the ray just chew n spit out. After a few minutes if the MP left uneaten, I will remove them and throw away. Meaning the ray hasn't eaten the MP. So if I continue like this all the way, won't the ray be starving? haha!

Bro, have successfully convert your ray diet to mp already? I bought one 12" motoro ray 2 weeks ago and still trying to train it to take mp.
