haha.. hand feed... Nah mate.. my little guys are hunters... they have the knowledge for it from birth I've found.. for the first "settling in" period when I got them home I did syringe a little bit of baby food enriched with calcium/vitamins onto the tips of their snout for them to sap on.. however as soon as they were happy to hunt crickets, thats how they eat.. Occasionally Bubbles still needs a hand, as he goes in and pounces at his prey, but occasionally he'll miss the target and eventually just get lazy.. in those cases I'll put a few crickets into a chinese food container, and then put bubbles in there with them... he gets a good feed that way without my interfering too much by hand feeding.. He'll get the hang of it soon enough!
