Well we went a whole week of putting a new pinkie in the cage daily. She never eat any of them. So last night we had one left and I ended up cutting the head off while frozen and defrosting that. I then put her in a 6" x 6" tupper ware with a paper towel down. Sure enough in 10 mins that pinkie head was being ate. I then put half of the body in there and she ate that also! We were so happy she is eating!!!!!
