Hi, ya I have problems feeding mine frozen too.....she never takes them until I heat them up



A trick I've learned is if you take a live fuzzy, feed it to her and while she's eating it place f/t fuzzy near her mouth while she's eating the 1st. Also if that doesn't work, a good work around is while she's eating the 1st take your tongs or what ever and kinda force the f/t fuzzy in her mouth while she's eating the 1st one. Sorta like one long fuzzy



I've had success with doing it this way.....also my Rosy was very much only live....she was most difficult switching it might take a few feedings. Good luck and update us on how it goes!
