ouch sorry to hear that. i'm glad i haven't had any issues as of yet. are you water scenting the pinkies? the breeder i got mine from mentioned that sometimes they are more inclined to accept if you dip the pink in water before offering. might go back to them eating toads? not sure. luckily mine is a glutton. I'd say you could try scenting with a toad, but then you might run into other problems.
