I'd spend $ on removing some underweight LMB, adding cover, then BG. Give them some place to hide. I doubt that the FHM would last a week.

Plus optimal food for the LMB is 1/4 to 1/3 their body length.

18" LMB eating a FHM would be like you or me eating rice one grain at a time. Lots of effort for little food.
