I don't get it. Have him a pup rat today. He licked it. Then turned away. 4 months old. Won't even take crickets or dubia's.

Have you tried cutting up the pinks and mixing them with a staple that he likes? Korben never did take to insects, he ate a few worms here and beatles there but that was it.

Guru didn't eat pinkies at first, I ended up having to poke holes in their heads and letting the juices/guts come out a bit. Once he smelled that he went to down.

I just use a knife and cut across the skull for braining. For Colombians I dip a bit of something I want them to eat in raw egg yolk. Rats have a different smell, so sometimes mice are accepted first.
