So I still have the little baby I caught out back. He did shed for me last week, which was what I was hoping was keeping him from eating before, but he is still showing little to no interest in food and hasn't eaten anything for me.

I have tried small pieces cut from bait nightcrawlers, cut up baby nightcrawlers, frozen silversides, and frozen pinky parts. Over the last half a week I've been able to catch some earthworms from the backyard now that the rain has returned, but I haven't had luck with those either. I want to try slugs, but I haven't been able to to find any that are small enough.

Does anyone have some ideas for how I might coax him into eating? He is still rather nervous around me, though he has calmed down considerably. I have tried putting him in a feeding container with the food, alone in a room where it is quiet. Still no luck.
