At last!

I got my T.macianus (Garry) on Tuesday(it's going to be very awkward if it turns out to be female!).He's about the size of a 2p coin when coiled up and was born January 2012.He's a little scared of me but doesn't mind eating worms from my hands.I haven't been able to feed him pinkies even though thats all the breeders fed him...any tips on getting him to feed on pinkies would be much appreciated.

I just got my T.sirtalis to eat pinkies by just mixing it in with cut up worms. Try getting the pinkies covered in as much worm goo as you can. This worked perfect for me.

Start him off with pinky parts. Clip the pinky legs off at the thighs and shoulders.
Just an idea.

it is quite small,it latched onto a pinky head couple hours after he arrived but it was to big for him (should i cut the pinkys into really small bits?).Later that day he ate some worms even though he had never seen them before,he responded to the worms wiggling and then sucked them down.I'm thinking about putting some chopped up pinkies in a bowl and using the worms as a lure to tempt him over to hopefully eat the pinkies,How does that sound?

That should work.

If your going to cut up the pinky make sure you do it while it's still frozen, it's a lot less messier.

Pinky fillet stirred in a mild raw nightcrawler sauce, served at room temperature with some mineral water on the side.
Resistance is futile!

I learned that the hard way ha ha

Yep, just chop the pinkies really small. When my marcianus babies were small none of them would do the head without me cutting it in half. It won't be long before they are taking larger pieces. Keep the largest pieces about the size of its head.
The size of a 2p sounds pretty small for 4 months, or maybe I'm forgetting how small our girls were when we first had them.
