When I feed my BP they like them pretty much as dry as you can get them. I use the bag technique and the only time that it gets wet is when there is a hole in the bag. When they are soaking wet mine usually pass them up. I have one 05 male that will take anything in front of him including me if I get to close. I have two others that are very finicky that go right up to it and look like they are interested and at the last second they turn away. They are siblings and the person that had them before me fed f/t also. So I don't know what I am going to do with them. Just keep trying.
