For those of you who know about my Pixie not eating.....well she is now!!!
i have to say it was a very slow operation!
see bolow a list of what i tried.
-leaving in a small tub overnight with the pinkie in
-making the pinkie jump like a frog
-brain exposure
-scenting with a TIN of tuna. Notice i said tin.
-Scenting with a slice of REAL UNCOOKED TUNA......And thats the daddy!! Scent with a piece of fine dolphin friendly tuna steak.
I have now kept a small piece of dolphin friendly tuna in the freezer for each feed.
The crazy thing is, everyone says its males that a fussier than females....well my fussy one is female and i also own a male hoggie who is a gannet!! |

Another great tip.....give her some privacy whilst eating. i just leave it with her and within ten minutes its gone!!! Quite cute to be honest!! |

| I've been told that cod liver oil has much the same effect, but I've never tried it myself! |
