I have a pretty simple question, but it is one that I have yet to find an answer for. How do you get a stubborn eater to actually eat?

While I don't currently have a garter snake (yet!), I have a pair of dekayi's. My female eats everyday half to a full worm, and today she almost ate a full two worms. My usual rule is as much as they can eat in one sitting per day. (She is rather fat now a days)

But my male on the other hand, is rather picky. When I first got him, he would eat a slug or two a day and thats it, now when I try to feed him worms, he turns his head to it! I really want to get him to start eating worms, because slugs will start becoming rather hard to find for me. With the worms, I was planning on starting a small worm farm this weekend.

Should I rub the worm parts in the slugs? Or just stick them all in a small container and leave him in there for 10-20 minutes with both worm and slugs?

And sorry for not being about garters, I was going to post this over on thamfriends, but this site seems to get more visits. =/
