I really think mine have begun to realize that nice edibles (or playthings) often happen when I come in... Every time I reach in over the side they all come a-running over to the pie plate I drop bugs into!
I wasn't sure whether one of them might be getting a little pasty-butted (seemed to be only a shaving stuck on, but there had to be something to make it stick), so I gave them a little oatmeal in the pie plate--I'd read somewhere (maybe here!) that could help. They were all puzzled by it at first, different texture to the crumbles, but pretty soon there were half a dozen pecking away in the plate!
Meanwhile, one had fallen asleep with her head *inside* the regular feeder. Made me think of the videos of kids falling asleep into their ice cream. (Definitely OK, she got up a few minutes later and trotted around.)
