Eats pinkies, but won't eat fuzzies?

My year-old will take pinkies, and I was feeding her and her brother 4 to kill off my bag before going to fuzzies.

I've been feeding them f/t, outside of their cage.

Her brother had no problem accepting the fuzzies; however, Ama won't. She ate the second one I offered her, but hasn't eaten one since (about a month ago, offering once a week). I have been giving her one or two of what's left of my pinkies, but I'll be out after this week.

What should I do? :headbang:
 
Man that brings back memories.... I have an Amel that did the same thing to me, refused to eat anything with fur on it. I fed him pinkys until he was big enough to take rat pinks, then he was addicted and ate rats with fur when he was big enough. Now he's over 400 grams and will eat anything given to him...
 
Haha! At least mine's not the only weird one.

How much bigger is a rat pink than a mouse fuzzy?

The brother's had a growth spurt since upgrading, but she hasn't grown much...

I spose I'll have to get some more pinkies...
 
Can you give her double pinks? Have you tried really, really drying them off? The smallest rat pinks are about fuzzy-sized. 9 grams or so is average, I think.
