Training to eat earthworms?

[julie]

I have 2 year old fire sals. They've been great about eating crickets and waxworms, but I just started feeding them earthworms as well. One is very happy to eat the worm, while the other just isn't interested. I've tried moving it with tweezers and putting it close, but she just won't eat it. Is there some way I can convince her to eat earthworms, or should I just stick to crickets?
THANKS!

Maybe it is the kind of nightcrawler you use. You have the use the kind that lives in the ground, not the one that live in compost. They have a real bad taste.

If that's not the problem, you can try just dropping a small piece near by. The wiggling worm will atract him soon enough.

For a second I thought he might be scared of the tweezers, but you probably use those for the waxworms as well so that can't be it.
I'd say, keep trying.

Good luck
