Mine is giving me a hard time, can you explain the turtle food trick?

Try scenting the pinkies with tuna or salmon in can. This sometimes will help and if not you can always scent with a frog as well. I do this at work and it helps on some of the trickier eaters.

I got some turtle food, the smellyer teh better, I used dry but added a few drops of water. I then put it in a cup and add the pinkys. I shake them aroiund lightly to make sure they are covered and leave them in it for around 14 min. then I put the pinks in with the hogs using tongs so I dont get my smell on them. I also heard putting them in a plastid cup with a tree frog for a while works also. You just want to get them to smell like aquatic animal so the hog thinks it is its natural prey.

I've never heard the turtle trick but that's pretty cool. Glad it worked for you! But I have to ask...where are the pics of the baby hogs?!
