Tobey I used a needles type of syringe-obviously- and dropped bits of baby
food mix on the ends of their faces and along the edges of their mouthes as
2 of my first ones arrived from the shipment rather sorry looking and I
wanted to get vitamins and calcium etc into them. Sort of an oral IV. Their
initial reaction was that I was an evil monster trying to poison them and
they tried to shake and rub it off. When they finally got some into their
mouthes it was kind of comical the surprised look on their faces. It only
took maybe about a dozen assisted feedings before they started eating what
was in their dishes. Good luck. Margaret

> I have a ciliatus that refuses to eat even fruity baby food. I did buy
him at a pet store, and I think he was only fed crickets there. I have
tried fresh mashed fruits with him, and he won't touch that either. I did
not feed him for a couple of days so that he would get hungry, and I thought
then he would at least try the fruit, but he won't. I have only gotten him
to eat crickets. Does anyone have suggestions on how to get him to eat
something other than crickets?
