Won't hand feed lol

Idk why he doesn't accept hand fed items but he just doesn't like it. He's taken it a few times but he doesn't often. I guess its not a bad thing just thought ide point that out lol.

Mine don't like to be hand feed. They won't eat if I try to feed them by hand.

You're probably better off. Richard got so addicted to being handfed that now he's too lazy to chew. I feed him slurries and baby food from a syringe, although he will still eat the occasional handful of shredded squash and snow peas. He'll go after any bug, though - it's just veggies he won't eat out of a dish, the brat.

I hand feed Dubs every now and then, but I definitely don't want him as spoiled as Richard. If you want them to eat out of your hand, just keep trying. Once your baby gets to the point where he eats from your hand, though, just make sure you don't make it a daily occurrance.

I don't think it's a bad thing. Just today I finally had my Pogi hand feed. It made me really really happy.
I guess some can be picky.

It's definitely not a bad thing. Hand-feeding can spoil them into not eating without you feeding them that way. Man, that sounds like it would be a pain, never mind the fact it's not very natural behavior! :shock:
