When I am trying to switch my hatchlings over from bloodworms to food sticks. I normally put a much smaller amount of bloodworms and add small crickets. I my case to gets the terrapins to start looking up for food instead of down. Then I stop feeding the bloodworms and just feed crickets. Then I start putting less crickets and adding food sticks. Within a day or so they should start eating the food sticks. This worked for all thirty of my hatchlings this year. I don’t know how long you have been feeding them sowbugs, but I normally only feed mine bloodworms for four days and then crickets for about three days, so by a week or two they are only eating foodsticks. Now if they have been eating sowbugs for a long time it might take a while to break them. Good Luck Jonathan SM http://www.geocities.com/diamondbackterrapins
