After considering your "sharpening advice" into consideration, it only took one day of no food items for my argus to realize that it had to see me for food. I didn't offer any food and turned off the lights at night. The next day it came out as soon as it heard me in the room and I rewarded it with food. The next day as soon as the lights came on it was out looking for a meal. Again I rewarded. These are extremely wonderful and intelligent creatures that we are priveledged to observe.
Thanks Again,
Dave
