    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.

    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.
