I have one that is a picky eater. He refused f/t. I switched him to live he took it. He eats in his tub. I will not take him out to feed him again. I supervise when he's eating to make sure he doesn't swallow bedding or get bit. Just so happens my oldest was in blue the other day (only time he won't eat) so I offered it to my picky eater and he took it. It was f/t Don't give up yet.
