Make sure he's had time to warm up, and looks like he's on the hunt for nosh.Or dont feed him for a couple of days to ensure he's hungry.

Or you could put them both in a separate enclosure with no hiding places.

The method I use is to dangle the feast in front of the glass or even dangle it down from above. The skink's reaction tells me all I need to know
Eugene ate one two days ago...

My Tybo tasted mouse for the first time yesterday. I fed my ball python a thawed hopper and cut the tail off and dangled it in front of him.. He licked it for a bit, then chomped it. Shoulda gotten pictures.

You can feed him pinkies from practically day one, and then fuzzies, before getting to big fat meeses. I've never feed mine mice but I do occasionally give them pinkies.
