I haven't started chondro babies yet, but I have done amazons. I found that if I made the pinky VERY hot (dipped it briefly in nearly boiling water) then made cuts in the belly to get it gooey and some would immediately go for that. When I had to tease, I really had to make them mad. Chased one for 40 minutes around the tub. For one, I had to make it feel more secure by adding more cover for it. Once I did that, it ate immediately and never stopped. This was after holding out for a month. I don't force feed so I don't know about that. I did try scenting with lizard and feathers and that didn't make a difference. Making the animal feel more secure, heating the food item up alot and teasing the crap out of them did the trick. ----- 5.5~Cornsnakes
