I have a female that is a difficult feeder and prefers scented pinkies. when I tried using a leopard gecko that had died as a babie to scent. My hog would'nt touch the mouse. When I used a blue bellied lizard which I found dead outside to scent ( I have used anoles in the past). The lizard loved it. I have been using the same dead lizard for a year now, and the thing smells worse than any dead decayed animal carcus. I hate the smell but the snake loves it.
Some smells just stimulate the hogs scences to feed. Try scenting with a dead lizard and keep the lizard in the freezer for future uses. I like to put a cut into the dead lizard to get out more liquid smell.
If this dosent work try either goldfish scenting, tunafish water from the can, or egg white.
Let us know how this works for you. I think the lizard scenting will do good for you.
Good Luck
Jason Mc
