Everyone, seems to have trouble getting the juvy coppers to eat.If it where me; I would keep trying LIVE PINKIES, I don't have much luck getting coppers to eat anything but live food; especially juvy copper.

You may have to use a T-REX product called lizard maker to scent the pink. You could also try placing the baby Copper in a small deli container with the live pinkie.

I agree with all the responses, but if you've only had it 5 days, it may not be acclimated to it's new surroundings. Keep trying and try not to handle it any more than necessary. I have also had success by placing a dark towel or sheet over the enclosure (make sure you don't cut off the air supply). Don't give up.
