Not to hijack this thread but any suggestions on converting from live to F/T would be greatly appreciated or do I just have to "wait it out". Got a pair of baby hog islands last June. The female has consistently taken F/T off tongs with the gusto of a retic and never missed a meal. The male just wants live. Once in a while he will eat a F/T small mouse or rat pink left in his cage but never took one from tongs. I tried all the tricks-scenting with live, braining, motion, small container, etc. He is not shy and will gobble up a live mouse readily before I can even close his cage. Thanks for your help. Bill.
