What methods have you tried? Braining, daisy chaining, leaving it in overnight, not offering food for a couple weeks?

Yeah, pinkies are far too small, glad you're getting something bigger.
- Warm it up (I use a Tupperware container in a bowl of warm water, like you would a baby bottle)
- offer at night
- stab the brain/head
- use tongs to wiggle the food near it's face
Good luck!

I use a container to warm them in warm water, I've even tried warming in a bag submerged so it stays dry, always use tongs to feed, she will come up to it and sniff it but just wont take it. Since trying the fuzzy shes turned off all food will try stabbing the head next time.
