I think I just discovered Annabelle's favorite food. Everything I give her she just picks at it until it's all gone. The last two feedings I gave her some scallops that I had in the freezer to try. She loves it. She eat's scallops like Elvis eat's mussel. Even the little bits that get away she goes after them. There is absolutely nothing to pull out of the tank when I feed her a scallop. I think she would actually kill herself overeating if I gave her too many. Has anyone else ever tried scallops?

how cute.....you need to video her eating one of those......
i've never tried them...but i will now.....

I'll have to get some more. I didn't know it was going to be such a big hit. If she ever stops eating again I'll know how to get her started. Just feed her a scallop.

awsome.....i can't wait to see her tear into one......

I thought scallops would be a real treat too, then I went out and bought some. My GSP pecked at the piece I put in there and the Brown totally ignored it. I have a Lb of scallops in my freezer now...but not for long, I love scallops!

.....don't let anyone see you eating those.....especially Annabelle....

She'll Kill you
I personaly hate sea food. I like ahi tuna and fried callamiri.
Maybe if i get my gsp it will like that.

Yes my puffers all love scallops. I kind of use them as a treat.

My valentini puffer loves them. Shelby not so much. The feeder crabs enjoy them though.

I think they are Lolas favorite, too she's the same way, picks until it is 100% gone.

My local grocery store only carries some processed clams, scallops, mussels, prawns etc. nothing of the shell left . Been meaning to check out a larger one when I go to the LFS again for more microcrabs and pond snails.

my GSP didnt eat the scallops i tried to feed him, so i did

I also had no success he just chewed and spat out which made me cross. More w/c's

ha, haha! i don't think mine has ever spat out food before, she's a piglet! we tried squid for the first time yesterday, she LOVES it.

I gave my stars and stripes Octopus once, it was the funnies thing you've ever seen. I dropped it in the tank, he went for it, took a bite and then it happened. The octopus tentacle came up and over his face, right between his eyes. He "FREAKED" and I do mean "FREAKED" , then he went in the corner and wouldn't come out. After I finally stopped laughing I took the tentacle out and threw it away. I never tried octopus again. lol
