I purchased what I suspect is a wild caught B/W from PETCO and adopted a larger female a month later, which is very active. The juvi from PETCO is constantly sleeping under the mulch and is clearly in hibernation mode but the female I adopted is very active.
Here is my dilemma; the adopted female is twice the size of my juvenile and I would really like to get them similar in size so that I can put them both on the sunporch (the juvi is currently in a 40 gallon inside). But how can I get the juvi to grow when it's constantly sleeping? Meanwhile, Freida, my adopted B/W continues to eat and grow.
Has anyone had any success with this sort of issue before? How do you "awaken" a B/W in hibernation mode. Clearly, the juvi is not on the same internal clock as my adopted female.
