Hello, I purchased a pair if nicaraguans about a month ago. I am also trying to get them to eat f/t but I had to start them out on live pinkies. I wash the pinkies very good in warm water before I feed it to them. They are very reluctant to eat at first,but after a few times of feeding them by hand they will get used to you feeding them this way and then try to switch them over to f/t. I also buy live and freeze them myself that way you know they are fresh because if they have been frozen for a while, when you thaw them they will smell real bad and alot of times the snake will not touch it. Hope this helps.
