Lori, will they take food if you hold it in your fingers?? That's what I did with Deejay. She didn't seem too interested in it when it was just lying there next to her, and I was afraid if she crawled over it too much she'd end up so stinky I'd have to put her outside!! But as soon as i held it and wiggled it in front of her, it was a whole different ballgame!!
