I tend to take lilly and harry out of their viv/rubs to feed to avoid ingestion of substrate blah blah blah....

Last feed i fed lilly first, and then i put harry in the rub i use for feeding but he refused his feed, could just be he didn't want it but my question is could it have been because he smelt lil had been in there before him and this put him off his food?

I know its a one of those - how longs a piece of string questions but just wondered on others thoughts
