After being off her food for a while again lil rizzie has decided food is the way to go and took a pinkie tonight. I did have to scent it with chick and it was the most excited Ive seen her in ages. How long do you think i should keep scenting before I say enough is enough and let her have a "normal diet"? |

well done on her eating again!
but i dont know how long you should scent it for..maybe try and see if she will take the next feed without scenting and if not then scent it..
this sounds silly but did you buy a chick specifically for scenting? am thinking of trying aura with a scented pinkie.. i do have a pet chicken but i think she would try and eat the pinkie if i attempted to scent with her!  not that i actually would use her - dont know what shes been rolling about in!!! |

| yeah i bought it for scenting (it is frozen tho) i actually bought two thinking maybe my big guys could haave one each as a wee treat afterwards but they are a lil bit too big for them yet. i was thinking about using my leo but decided aagainst it. i didnt think it would be fair to rub a mouse all over him, and the snake would be in a permanant state of hunger as they are all in the same room. |

Yay Rizzie! Glad she finally ate! We agree with HannahB, only scent as little as you can get away with, otherwise we both know Rizzie will decide that normal pinks aren't "good enough" for her!
Poor Dezzi, he wanted that pink too!
BTW think Kizzy is gonna shed, zooming around like an idiot rubbing everything in site while managing to get water everywhere... Were going to have fun cleaning that up without her getting out...
But, maybe we might get another complete shed, so its worth it!!  |

if you're resorting to scenting for a stubborn feeder then ANYTHING'S worth a try lol
but i'd keep on with the scenting for a few weeks Laura, then just try a normal one......... worst that can happen is that it's refused and you have to rub a chick all over it |
