Are you doing both the water and the sunflower seeds on the same day? I'm pretty sure they'll only accept and be affected by one food item a day.

[Cyriack]

no i started with water till it got to 2 and a half stars, now im feeding it sunflower seeds and poke, it worked on the other cactaur..

he keeps shuddering but not changing.

If it actually is "shudders violently" that you see, I would indeed think there is something going wrong since that should be the sign of it evolving as far as I know.

If it's "squirms uncontrollably" instead, that would mean "try again tomorrow", and probably "working as intended".

For the 4th time. It's working exactly as intended.

Looking forward to telling you the fifth time.
