Well went and purchased one anole today, rubbed down the pinky mouse much to the anoles displeasure, and placed in the enclosure on his favorite hide to keep him from having a chance at ingesting the substraight. This might work he actually is right by the food like he is interested, but hasnt taken it yet. Last time he just slithered right over the pinky showing no interest what so ever. I will keep ya posted.

You need to (IMO) not leave mouse in his cage. Put him in the deli cup so he can't get away from it. That's what everyone says to do, otherwise it's too easy to just go away. you could try the slap method first, then if it doesn't work, keep him in close proximity in the deli cup, overnight. That's when my non-feeder ate, was during the night. And once the female you have ate overnight. She was due to eat last night. So she ate last tuesday. You could even try an anole scented one tonight in the deli, and if he doesn't eat that way, try live wednesday.

I wouldn't try the non-feeder more than once every 5 days, personally. No handling, no disturbance, then a live pink in a deli in the viv overnight, covered up and no checking at all until morning.

I will try the female tomorrow, she wouldnt eat the other night, however she shed about an hour ago and that could be why.

You should put her in the deli cup too. I always did and she didn't always eat right away but she would eat overnight. I put the deli cups in the vivs as well. Make sure the lids are on or they sneak out!

Well I guess all the live pinks died during transport so I decided to try the anole scent agian. This time both babies where placed in small deli cups, and covered up. The female didnt hesitate at all taking the pink befor I could cover her, so I let the lump get to the middle of her body and released her into her viv. I will check on the male in the morning and let everyone know.

I hope he eats!!! maybe the scent of live (well dead but never frozen) will help? I don't know. Hopefully this works, but next, I think I'd try anole scented in the deli.

I'll check tomorrow!

They where both scented with the anole, I have never had this much trouble finding live pinks of the things.
