Just bought a Dendro yesterday and was wondering how to get it to open after adjusting to my tank. Will it open on its own or will I have to elicit a feeding response with food? Will it open during the day? Your response is greatly appreciated. Thanx!

It'll open on its own. Mine will close periodically throughout the day and reopen.

I use frozen cyclopeeze to get the feeding response and then feed them. if you repeat this at the same time each day they will start to open up at that time before you use cyclopeeze.

I just tried the tupperware method and it worked very well.

I also tried the Tupperware method with positive results. Right now I am focusing on getting it to eat which means getting up at 5:00am at which time it's usually open. I just want it to feed since it probably wasn't fed at the lfs to get it back to 100 percent. After that I will work on training it to open during daylight hours. Thanx everyone for responding.
