Hey, you might want to try asking this question in an entirely new post, because there are many threads before(above) this one now and people will probably not notice any new replies to these "old topics".

Try this: offer him one of the pinkies next time. If he takes it, offer the frozen/thawed fuzzy right after he is done swallowing the pinkie.....usually they are still in a "feeding response" and will readily accept any more food that is offered....use that response to your advantage. After a few feedings like this, he should accept the fuzzies with no hesitation.

Good luck!
