    It may sound gruesome, but cutting open the head a little so that some brain matter or blood comes out might work. I read it on here before and tried it with a picky eater and he went for it.

    Yeah, they are healthy and fat! Toby weighed about 330g at his last weighing (he's young), and Mona is nearly 2000g... so I know a missed meal won't kill her, LOL.
