have you tried offering them to him using tongs? I finally persuaded mine to eat some, inbetween offering him mice with the tongs, he only seems to like the males, which is a bit strange, but fine with me as thats mostly what he'll be getting anyway until my colonies have reached a decent size

I have the opposite problem lol! My colony is now so huge that I've decided I need to feed off a few hundred females. I literally have thousands of the buggers now and they eat a tremendous emount of food. I also removed their heat pad hoping it would slow them down, but no luck hehe.

haha fair enough - thought have selling them? then they would pay for their own up keep, with a little extra on top, here in the UK you can pay close to £1 per adult ($1.6!), more expensive that locusts lol
