A friend of mine had a small frozen fuzzy that he gave me yesterday. Thawed it out, heated it up, and took a razorblade and sliced open the brain pan. I squeezed a little out, offered it and as soon as the tongue touched brain, he nailed it like no tomorrow. He's about halfway done ingesting it. THANK YOU! to everyone who has offered their help and advice since I got the little guy. Hopefully he'll finish and keep it down.

Swallowed it completely, resting comfortably.

Its like clockwork! I havent had a neonate refuse yet once they taste the blood/brain with their tongue. Im glad to hear he is eating now. Once started he shouldnt give you any other problems, keep us posted.
