Anery takes hours to eat pinky?

i fed the 26th, the 29th and the 3rd. i'm terrible with dates and times, thats why i use freeherp to keep track. i just checked it again to see if i had done just as you said...but i didnt thankfully! the 26th is when he had the slow feeding and a very tiny pinky. my original post is incorrect, Tuesday was the 29th...not the 26th. that was sunday...geez even i'm confusing myself.
i sliced the pinky on the night of the 29th and he ate it. i didnt slice it on the 3rd (this morning) and he ate that one.

and i USUALLY feed them at night, but i didnt this time. i was going to be out tonight, so i saw the opportunity to feed him this morning.
 
So you feed every 5 days. That's about right while they are on pinkies. I go to every 7 once they are on anything larger. Even my sub adults get cuts in their food. I think it helps them digest more easily.
 
So let me get this straight, you put him back in his home tub to eat, and he snatched it right up? Or what other tub were you talking about?

A few of mine still don't like to eat in a feeding tub, but will eat ravenously in their own tub. So maybe that's his problem.
 
I do apologize, i've been on sinus and allergy meds the past couple weeks and i havent been clear in my posts. the stuff makes my brain cloudy. i cant wait until the pollen levels go down some.

I have two shoebox sized sterilite tubs. One is Guinness's viv, it has his waterbowl, two hides and has papertowels on the bottom. the other tub is the feeding tub that doesnt have anything in it except papertowels. i put the pinky and Guinness in the feeding tub first...he didnt eat. I then put him back in his viv with the pinky overnight, he didnt eat. so i tried putting him back in the feeding tub with the pinky. he didnt eat. so i almost gave up, but i put him in his viv and tossed the pinky in there one last time, and he grabbed it and ate it on the 26th.
i also decided instead of using the feeding tub, that i would just feed him in his viv for now. i think maybe the empty feeding tub stresses him out too. maybe as you said, Taceas, it may just be that i just fed him in his viv. so for now, thats what i'll continue to do. just feed him in his viv. and i'll slice the pinkies if he doesnt take them.
