I got lucky with mine, switched from live feeders to pellets very easily. They absolutely love the Hikari Jumbo Carnisticks, and looking nice for it too I think.

nice nice! my female absolutely refuses non live food. not even fish fillet for her.... =( tried to convert her off live food and she got so thin that i panicked and decided to just spoil her for life lol! LIVE food for her. i just hope these two biggies dont pick up the same attitude with live stuff..... oh yeah those hikari carnivore and massivores are really good but they are just so damn expensive.....

Very nice looking Monos yogi! those two males should even color up when they settle down and get used to their new home. Nice pick ups!
