I have read a lot about feeding, and some people insist on a seperate feeding container, and others just toss 'em in the normal environment. I've tried the seperate container, and he always just explores the edges/lid and has no interest in the pinkie. Last night I tried to place the pinkie on a paper plate inside his normal tank, and he pushed it with his nose a couple of times, but never ate. I did notice that the pinkie is only about half as big around as he is, which seems too small to me. Would having too small of prey discourage him from feeding? (I'm using pinkies because the pet store suggested it for the first couple of feedings)
