    Ah that sucks, I was hoping you had over looked that option. Yeah I don't know other then live. And with such a picky eater sounds like your going to have to present the live just right. I just went thru this with my little mojave female until I cracked the code. Well good luck I hope you put all the pieces of the puzzle together!

    Thanks Rob. I hope if crack the code soon because it's getting very frustrating lol. For now I think I'm just going to switch her to live (assuming she will take them lol) because like Daybreaker said, at this point I need to be more worried about getting some weight on her because of her age/size. So I'll go the live route for now and maybe 6 or so months down the road, if she has gained a good amount of weight, I'll try f/t with her again.

    Re: Feeding Problems, Need Some Advice

    Well I went and got 2 live rat fuzzies today. They lasted all of 5 minutes with the 2 babies in question. I guess I know now that they are live eaters lol. Hopefully I will be able to switch them later down the road but for now I just want to get some weight on them. Thanks for all the advice guys and gals

    You don't have to do this, it's just a suggestion but scenting f/t with crabsticks once or twice apparently works a treat, a few people I know swear by it
