Pacman settling in time?

Whats a good feeder for these to get them interested in eating? The baby refuses to eat, he has had the same baby crix in there for a week. I manage to get him to eat a waxworm in a shoe box but that was it I was able to get his mouth open but without an extra hand I couldn't get any food in there.

You shouldn't resort to force yet. Force feeding is used as a last resort. The little guy/to probably just needs more time. if its been longer than 8 days without eating then it is time to force feed. don't leave food in during the day. remove the crickets that haven't been eaten in the morning and try again the following night. Break their hind legs off so the crickets can't jump. it makes them easier to catch.

Ok, thanks for the reply! I will make sure to take them outta the little guys tank in the morning. Should I remove him from the 10gal tank since he is so small? I covered the two long sides of each tank which seems to have really helped with my larger pacman, he now seems to be hunting and my pixie is on a binge diet

It's. probably a good idea since he/she isn't eating. A smaller enclosure might help for now. its worth a try.
