They usually will start out on small lizards immediately and switch to pinkies after a few meals or scenting with lizards.

I have had no problem getting mine started on 1day old pinkies.
I just put the baby sidewinder and the pinky into a little deli cup and turn off the light and go watch a movie or something for an hour or so. Give it a try before you get them started on lizards.

if you can get pinkie russian dwarf hamsters, they work great. Must smell like a Ruth Chris steak to them!
