I have a little male Western that finally accepted thawed pinks after a long brumation and the first few months of being warmed up. I didn't give in - and he finally took a thawed pink dusted with vitamin powder. Go figure. He ate 5 in two days (but I have to leave them in with him so he can find them and eat on his own.)
I like the suggestion to scent with a live toad or anole, then keep the toad or anole as a pet or release it. One method is to put a live anole in a small jar for a day. Rotate it out with another anole for another day. Do this for a few days. Then thaw a pink, wash it and rub it in the jar bottom a little. Just this alone can work sometimes, with no harm to anoles. The jar without anoles will be effective for weeks after. But I truly think that Hogs for the most part are too glutonous to starve themselves to death. They'll eat, just maybe on their own time.
