As in just got it today or yesterday? If so, I'd suggest giving it a little time to get acclimated before attempting feeding. Also, did you ask if it was eating f/t?

I'd still suggest giving it a few days to get acclimated to it's new surroundings.

In the future remember, when you first gat an animal if it eats than geat. If it doesn't just be a little patient with them.

Never heard of that before but hey, if it worked. I'd still try for the unscented items as I do not know if sushi is the best choice.

well, i was feeding guppies to my ringneck and thought about my hognose, so i went over to him and wave the guppy in his face and immediately got his attention. i put the pinkie in the bag and he didn't want it so i rub the guppy on it and he took it.
