It took 8 months of force/tease-feeding thawed plus visual conditioning with live pinkies in a dish, but for the past two weeks now, the little buggers have fed on thawed entirely on their own! I see them out cruising around near their dishes, toss in a thawed fuzzy, check back a few hours later, and find empty dishes! Hurray! Next step: get them onto tongs and maybe some day we'll be buddies...
