Handling Confidence

[Nix]

Just a bit of an update, i've tried hand-feeding my garter pinkies for the last 3/4 feeds with no luck, he just seems to get scared and dashes off under a hide.
I've been thinking of using worms but i'm not sure if the local variety here in north england is even safe for use. is there any particular type of worm i can grab that i can be pretty sure is safe for my little one?

I believe you have these worms available. You just need to make sure they are collected from or raised in a safe manor to be used as food for your buddy.

I had the same problem feeding pinkies to Slick. It took tease feeding for Slick to take the pinkies.

I found a quick dip into tuna juice did the trick. With Thea I am to the point of just dipping the tip of the nose. Hopefully she will take it unscented soon.
