My stubborn hog would not eat his pinkie he only likes goldfish or frogs Ive only got him to eat one pink in the past and never again. I tried dipping it in egg. rubbing it around on my beardie so it would smell like lizard and he still rejected it..So out of desperation I opened a can of tuna and dipped the pink in some juice and he loved it...Go figure..

I once got a stubborn baby snake to eat after rubbing a raw pork chop all over a pinkie. Whatever works, right?

I hope you ate the pork chop and didn't waste it on the pinkie (same for the tuna)

I have a small female het/albino that will only eat pinks rubbed on trout skin.
