I used to hand feed my jd but it wasant easy. I suggest you watch to see what food is its favorite wait till he is hungry and hold it there. It may take a while for it to come get it but be patient. Good luck
Yep, just get his favorite food, and make him wait a little longer than usual to feed him, and hold it in between your index and thumb out away as far from your hand as possible. Even though he is little he still has some teeth that will clamp on to your hand. I found my JD liked bloodworms
I hand feed my carpinte pellets all the time. I started with earthworms, and once he got more comfortable I tried different foods. I also trained him to jump and do other things, it took more than a year though. Patience is the key.
