No offence, but if you don't know what species, how can you have any idea what diet is necessary for it so survive?

How do you know that your specimens loss of limbs isn't related to a dietary deficiency?

Plus, without knowing how your two systems compare, how can you offer any reassurance to someone else?

just an FYI, it often takes a year or more for death by starvation...
took my red fromia about 14 month.
