 Topic: Baby Bamboo Shark...
Posted: September 24 2013 at 10:12pm |

Just got a baby Bamboo Shark. As i've dealt a lot with stingrays, I never dove into sharks until now. Just wanted to know what are their eating patterns as a pup? I picked him up last Saturday and was eating frozen krill. He seems to more comfortable and eating krill in my system. I'm just not sure if they are a "pig out" type fish or feed once every few days. Just want some incite and some friendly advice to get me started. Thanks all!!

A shark can pig out just like his cousin the Ray. Bamboo sharks are nocturnal so feeding yours at night can be an advantage until it gets used to a daytime feeding routine. Raw shrimp from the grocery store and silversides are good too. Aloha, Mark

Feed once or twice a week. Don't over do it, they are pretty lethargic and don't need to eat a lot. It will also slow down their growth rates a bit. Try mixing it up, Silversides, Squid etc.

I hatched one and got it to start eating from our hand, was pretty cool. I didn't know they could be jumpers, wife called while I was out of town and said he went carpet surfing :(

When they are young you can feed them every day and give them a day off every so often. Make sure you add iodine to it's food. Squid, krill and clams will all work. You should also order mazuri and use this as a supplement. Get the gel, the pills will be to large. http://www.mazuri.com/mazurisharkraygelperkg-5c8x.aspx This is a great resource about shark husbandry. It is very long and indepth. You can learn a lot by just skimming through it. Here is my brown banded.
