How long b4 my dwarf will eat?
I just got him today. his name is Pickles , hes about a half inch and sort of shy towards everything(even plants lol) I gave him live Brine shrimp, which he only watched with an amazed look. The lfs guy said he probably wouldn't eat, so i was just wondering how long it would take for him to start eating?

Might take a couple of days to settle in. Was he eating at the LFS?

Re: How long b4 my dwarf will eat?
I got lucky and my DPs ate on their first day, but as others have said, it can definitely take them a while to settle in. I wouldn't worry until it's been more than 3 days of not eating.
Yo ho, yo ho, a puffer's life for me.
