They are in tub set up with papertowels a couple, so they can hide. I've tried split f/t pinks/f/t pinks and live mice pinks./ currently trying paper bag method, with one. One ate on his own this afternoon:banana:

i would totally buy one off you

You may have to try frog scented pinks. I've never owned a hog but I've heard that works on some stubborn feeders.

Many a breeder start them off in 6-9 inch deli cups, being burrowers a substrate that can be burrowed in is favored..tunafish juice is a popular item to scent pinks with as well as a slew of others not including toads..

Awwww, they are adorable. :) I've also heard of scenting mice with toads or tunafish, but personally haven't had to try... mine was eating great by the time I got her, and hasn't ever refused a meal. Apparently, once you get them started they're eating machines! Good luck with the babies. :gj:

P.S. Easiest way to post photos is to get a Photobucket account (or any photo-hosting site), and then you can copy & paste the IMG code directly from there. ;)
