I have been reading a lot about the difficulty people are having getting there neonates to feed.
I have had the same problems with other species as well. I was reading Greg's book and had a laugh when he was talking about the different types of feeders ie (runners). I have had many of these guys they run at the first sight of anything entering the tub.
Anyway to get to the point I use insects (Woodies or crickets) not sure what you guys call them. But a neonate with everything removed from the tub except branches or elivating material will eat these little critters.
Not sure what you guys think please let me know, but from my expericnce they get about 4 feeds of insects then go on to pinkies.
This is only used for the most difficult feeders prior to force feeding. I hate to force feed, I know it must be done but I still hate doing it.
