some geckos won't eat them. One of my females absolutely hates it when i put one in for her to eat, she just runs and hides. For my others, i've smeared waxworm guts all over them to get them to start eating pinkies and they love them. For the one that hates them, i even tried the same trick with her, but she still refused.

Try scenting the pinks with mealworm guts. I have found this successful with live pinks..lots of leos will not accept frozen/thawed pinks.

Some just dont like them, while other just love em. Infact, my female just had one, and she never refuses them. Was it a frozen/thawed one? Try live pinks if it was, more likely to get a response. If not take the others advice and you can scent them with wax/meal worm guts. Later
