hm.

I'd continue to force feed until they show interest in food themselves.

or wait for somebody who isn't a complete idiot to reply

Okay, that makes sense.

YOU ARE NOT A COMPLETE IDIOT I UNDERSTAND FULLY WHAT YOU ARE SAYING AND IT IS TOTALLY TRUE AND I APPRECIATE YOUR HELP!

Dip your finger in some water and then in some feed. Show them your finger with the feed on it, and it will interest them and the will try eating the feed. This method always worked for me.

Yes, a lot. They are new but one ate. The other died while I was sleeping.
