I have a WC baby Eastern. Starting from scratch, in what order would you try different foods? Would you start with unscented FT, or FK, or live pinkies? How long would you wait after a refusal to try the next on the list?

I haven't tried anything yet- I am just giving her a couple days to settle. She seems pretty calm- she'll hiss a little and spread out her "hood," but she stops that after about a minute and then just sits calmly.

Now if she doesn't take unscented, would you try tuna water or toad rubbing next? And would that be on FT? Should I wiggle the pink around to simulate movement? I am trying to locate a toad now, which I plan on keeping in my outdoor boxie enclosure to use for scenting as needed. But how exactly do you scent with the toad?

Thanks, Nanci
