Question to Dwarf Lion Owners

[crobattt]

Do your lions come out at night? For the last two nights mine has come out and i think he may be looking for food, I know wild lions hunt at night?

Right before and after the lights go out they are active, they are most active at dusky times for sure. But in the middle of the night my dwarfs hide.

As mentioned, lionfish are crepuscular hunters, so if there's any ambient light, they may or may not be active. This is a trait that can be used to your advantage when weaning them onto dead food if they prove "difficult".

i have had my lions for a year and another for about 9 months and they swim all day for me. they know they get fed during the day not at night.

now the newer additions like my wasp and fu are still primarily nocturnal cause i havent trained them yet in that fasion. the wasp never really moves. very patient. eats frozen and it gets delivered right to him. and the fu is still on live so not even close to being fully trained
