If they spit it out, make sure after you get it the head in the throat close the balls mouth on the pray and tug a little so that the teeth of the ball lock on to the prey. It makes it a lot harder for them to spit it out. And don't just give up if they keep spiting it out. My lucy spit it out like 7 times once and finally just said screw it on the 8th try and took it. With VERY stubborn ones like mine was, you really need to get those teeth to sink into the prey, but try to be as gentle as possible. I assist fed my guy for 6 months. He pounds now.

Good luck.
