No point forcing them as they are only for treats anyway.. My 5-6 month old loves them.

When I first tried mine with them they ignored them. I tried a few times and then it just clicked with them and they all love them.

Offer them now and then and see, at least you know you're female will eat them if your male doesn't!

tried dipping the waxie in something fruity? guessit doesnt really matter if they never eat them anyway.. they're really only supposed to be for treats/fattening up..
