Easterns and Pinkies?

campdirector Jan 14, 2004 09:48 PM

Hey all,

Does any one have any tricks out there they use to get a baby eastern to eat scented or unscented pinks? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Scott

take a toad, open it's mouth and put the pinkie head in there. Then take tongs or fingers and hold the pinkie right up to the hogs nose. Keep it there even if it slithers around.

It will eat.

Is it wc or cb?

Thanks for the advice all. Something is bound to work!Rude.....it is a wild caught baby. The past owner said he ate 5 small toads since he has had him.
