    'Tis true.

    OP, what is the species at hand here? (A picture will suffice if you're unsure)

    No, I should have clarified live.

    Gonna need smallish food then. Female Meleagris are not likely to go after large prey if she is under 3 inches. Live black worms and brine are your best options. You could also try some frozen cyclopeeze if nothing else is available to you.

    Wow, that is pretty big. Pretty uncommon to be collected that large. Then I would try anything and everything you can as stated above.
