With that narrow snout, aren´t they fish eaters? Try with a fish - it also has a particular smell. Might tempt them.

I would love to know more those two crocodiles. I feel sorry for them and wonder whether you two will find out what's wrong with them.

They're in a zoo what else could be wrong?

@alezot6141 Год назад

These Sunda gharials came from a crocodile farm, so human contact at feeding time was a new experience for them; that's the most likely reason why they didn't want to eat at first.

@CatherineC.2123 2 года назад

Aren't gharials fish eaters?

@alezot6141 Год назад

Those are Sunda gharials, they have a much broader diet compared to Indian gharials

Live feeding! They are Predators,let them hunt.

@alezot6141 Год назад

Zoos usually don't give live prey to their carnivores, for multiple reasons. A live prey can fight back, injuring the carnivore, and live animals are inherently less controlled by a sanitary standpoint compared to dead ones. There are also many ways to encourage carnivores to forage on their own withouth tossing a live animal into an enclosure

Maybe because he wants to catch his food in the wild and not have someone poke him in the face with a dead chicken on a stick?

@alezot6141 Год назад

Crocodilians, and most carnivorous reptiles in fact, readily accept carcasses. These Sunda gharials came from a crocodile farm, so human contact at feeding time was a new experience for them; that's the most likely reason why they didn't want to eat at first.
