I'm assuming you have already tried nightcrawlers and or garden worms.

Boxies are unique but try this.
*Aquire a frozen small pinkie mouse..with very little fuzz.


*Soak your boxie in 90 degree water for an hour. At the same time in another separate container soak your pinkie mouse in COOL water.


*Make sure the sides of his home are covered so that he cannot see out.


*Remove any enclosure mates that might intimidate him.

*After an hour cut up the pinkie into 1/4 inch pieces. Place the boxie back in his enclosure. Give him the cut up pinkie on a PLASTIC LID OR IN A SMALL CERAMIC DISH.


Leave the area for 20 minutes. Keep us posted.

Ric
