Is this a pair of adults or hatchlings? Are they WC or CBB? I've switched adults but it took many many weeks to get them on scented rat pups using the various methods you outlined. I've also had success with another method where you take a frozen toad and unthaw it in a shallow dish of hot water along with a pinkie at the same time. The pinkie gets a REALLY good scent that way. I've had no problems with CBB hatchlings, and have found that dropping a small toad in the enclosure gets them going enough to try a scented pinkie for the first time (as long as you scoop up the toad before they get to it!) I've also noticed that some prefer to be hand fed and some will only eat if you leave the food in their enclosure. Please let us know when you succeed!
