Feeding and Nutrition :: Like getting a kid to eat brussel sprouts

[brain55]

Penny eats primarily sun-dried anchovies, occasionally a treat of some sun-dried red shrimp. I've been trying to get her to eat ReptiSticks as recommended by the Herp Vet since she was treated for a parasite a couple of months ago. I put a few sticks in with her anchovies when I feed her. Today was the first day I actually saw her eat them. Before, if she accidentally mistook one as an anchovy she would spit it out. I have been giving her fewer fish hoping she'd get hungry enough to eat the sticks. Maybe it worked
