I have found that pre-scenting really helps with feeding response...especially in that rescued pastel BP. With the corns, it just seems to help them 'know' when feeding time is so they don't think a mouse is coming every time I open the tub.

I don't know if it's working well with my female ball or not...since she's on a strike right now. But with my pastel, he sticks his head out of the hide moments after I put the keeper on top of his tank. When I get around to feeding him, he's fully out and looking up at the keeper.
