Anybody tried braining? I find that it always catches their attention, but with young ones sometimes (50%) I've found the smell makes them nervous becuase afterwards they refuse the brained pinky. Anybody else have that happen?

I haven't tried switching to another prey type because she has eaten pinks before so I think she'll take them again.

I have tried splitting prey items before and I've found 6 month corns take them but, the neonates don't. I think the smell scares them. Maybe the smell is so strong or something...
