Thanks for the ideas! I'll give it a shot tomorrow!
>>A buddy of mine gave me a het amel male Western Hog that he couldn't get to eat. I've tried F/T, F/K, toad scenting, frog scenting, live, small lizards and deer mice all with no luck. I've also tried putting it in a deli cup with a lid on it. I've never had one refuse toad scented thawed mice so I'm out of ideas. Anyone have any other strategies I can try? The temps are all normal for Westerns and it has acceptable substrate to burrow in to feel secure. I have around 10 others and they are all set up exactly the same way with no feeding problems regardless of age.
