Ideas for stubborn feeders

I was watching a video on YouTube from snakebytes/BHB and they said about rubbing pinkies on a sardine or tuna. I guess corns like the smell although they don't eat fish. They also said about rubbing the pinkie in lizard gut. Just wondering if anyone had used these, I may use the tuna one today to get my baby corn to eat.

Yep, I've rubbed pinks on everything imaginable.

Did you find any to work?

Sure. Nothing works on every baby, so it's often a matter of trying until something makes them eat. I'd say lizard, ivory soap, and pouring boiling water over the pinkie has worked best for me.

Ivory soap?

Yep, the plain ol' 99.6% pure kind, just a dab.

Never would have thought that, I can see tuna and that type of stuff working.

I've had success with soap (I didn't have ivory but used a clear fragrance free brand), quick dips in boiling water, and by using "reds" instead of pinks, which are basically freshly born mice a little bigger than a bean. I find that once a baby eats a few times with these methods they switch to unaltered pinks pretty quickly.

Mine ate her first meal when I first got her, completely unaltered pinky. Now she doesn't want anything to do with them. She lost a gram haha, down to 10 grams. I'm not worried yet but I am gunna try tuna today.

If that doesn't work, pour some boiling water over the pink after a couple of hours. If it still want eat, double check your temps. Sometimes babies go off feed, we'd all love to know why.
