I got some turtle food, the smellyer teh better, I used dry but added a few drops of water. I then put it in a cup and add the pinkys. I shake them aroiund lightly to make sure they are covered and leave them in it for around 14 min. then I put the pinks in with the hogs using tongs so I dont get my smell on them. I also heard putting them in a plastid cup with a tree frog for a while works also. You just want to get them to smell like aquatic animal so the hog thinks it is its natural prey.
