First off beautiful womas!! Are they locality specific??

For the blackhead I start my weekly feedings off by dropping in hot mouse pinks, mouse fuzzies, rat pinks and a baby quail chick (not sure if you have anything similar available in Oz as feeders) and then I feed everything else with at least 2-3 hours of things to do I give them some time. I go back in and check them and if they have fed it is usally on everything and they look like a sausage, if not I assist fed one item by getting the head of the mouse fuzzie or. Most of the pink in their mouth and hoping they swallow. The rat tails are good for this too as they can have enough in their mouth that they won't spit it out and you can leave them with maybe a pink or two as well to see if they keep eating.

If they do not eat I give them a few days and offer the same assortment again but left over night. I have not had luck with live but I don't try it often. I am not sure which food item gets them feeding but once they start they usually will take any two items offered together and eventually any one item. I tried adding BTS shed when I had them but that didn't help but I am sure some of the geckos over there could lend a shed to success...
