I agree that they can get to a point where it is almost impossible to bring them back. Over the last 10 years, I've had a few starve to death on me, but I've had a few miracles too. I bought a hatchling greeri last fall that refused to eat for over 6 months(she was brumated for part of that time). She was so close to death, I started shopping for a replacement. Then, for no apparent reason, she took a live pink. Five months later she's taking hoppers. You never know..

I decided this year to start feeding lizards after one month out of the egg without taking a pink. I collected a lot of young fence lizards at the beginning of the summer and tossed 'em in the freezer to use as feeders along with a few adults for scenting. Two non feeders eagerly took lizards as their first meal last night. We'll see how it goes.
