So, have any of you had any luck getting your new little guys to eat in a feeding bin? My new giant will eat in his cage like it's going to be his last meal, but still won't eat in a bin--which I kind of expected at this point.

If he was a bit bigger and had some meat on him, I'd ONLY offer him food in a tub until he ate, but I'm nervous he won't put on enough weight before hibernating so I'm caving in and feeding him inside his cage.

Any of you guys having any luck?

On a side note: this guy's SUPER tame once I get him out of his cage--and even when he is in his cage and I'm trying to get him out, he just runs away--no open mouth or whipping. He just chills on my lap or shoulder while I read--cool stuff. He's definitely grown just the tiniest bit, too.
