When to Switch to Unscented

[cron14]

Hi all. The title of the thread is my main question. For people who haven't seen my other threads, my female hoggie finally started eating tree frog scented pinkies 15 days ago. Since then, she has devoured three meals. I would say the first one was heavily scented and the other two were just thawed pinkies and part of the frogs leg in a cup of water. She was 6g and I was worried that she wouldn't make it so I don't want to try unscented too soon but whats a good wait time in regards to trying unscented? Thanks for the help in advance!

P.S. The poor thing lost some of her fiestiness when she wasn't eating, probably due to lack of energy, but she is back to hissing and false strikes

I would give her two more scented meals and after that I would offer unscented, if she does not take it, I would wait a week and offer unscented again, at that point it's still uneaten the next day I would offer scented, and I would keep repeating the same process until switched.

Once switched completely start feeding twice a week.

Careful with the false strikes. Mine acts that way and would peck me all the time. Then one day she actually latched on and started chewing. I had to pull her off my finger. I had several bleeding holes from her teeth. I got a little swelling and stiffness from it. No biggie overall but it surprised me as everything I'd read discussed closed mouth strikes.

Hoggies are never short on attitude.

In one of my attempts to assist feed a pinky, I actually stabbed myself with one of her fangs. (no idea how I managed to do that) I haven't been handling her really at all since I got her in December because of all the refusals and now I don't want to stress her out but I'll definintely keep this in mind. And thanks Deborah!
