I take the "Jurassic Park" approach where I can. I will explain. Goat comes out for the T-rex and refuses it. Dr Grant says 'T-Rex doesn't want to be fed, she wants to hunt'. The point being ideally always feed live food (usually no larger than the size of abdomen). Micro crickets or L2 crickets should be fine at that size (approx 2cm I am guessing?). if you cant get any that small, pre kill but try to drop close to the T so that any body twitches from the dead cricket provoke an attack response. <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" /></p></blockquote><p></p>
