: As we all know SG can be very picky eaters. If they don't like mealies then why go to all the trouble of disguising them - they would probably just lick off the licky and leave the worm. If YOU don't like them, then use tweezers and place in dish they can't crawl out of as suggested before.
: They can get the protien from something else without the fat.
: Just like toddlers, you won't be able to force them to eat anything they don't want to :-)

The only reason I cover Kessie's mealies with a licky treat is cause she is 10wks oop and I was told that when they are that young they won't eat them I did it with crickets too although Kessie ate a live cricket when she was 5 or 6 wks oop at least that is what the breeder told me. She eats them fine now but I still won't touch them. And you know it is funny I won't touch a cricket or a mealie but I have no problem baiting a fish hook go figure he he he.
