Last time i kept a cuttle was 20 years ago,,and living a 2 hour drive away from the coast i was unable to collect much live food, so frozen (thawed ) it had to be. I started off with dancing about a thawed out prawn on a piece of very fine fishing line, tied on very losely. I think perhaps hunger got the better of him after all the live food had gone, but it didnt take long for him to learn that even though it may not have looked as natural, it was still as edible. Three or four days after first dancing prawns about, he was feeding from my hand. Hope it works for others. Tim
