Give them time, mostly. They'll eat when they need to. I would recommend trying some worm castings...when I first offered those they were completely gone the next morning. You can get them at the addiction store.

Doubtful. Check any local gardening stores...it's a fertilizer so maybe it'd be there. The smaller the store the better chance you'd find them. Or you could look at farmers' markets. They might have them there.

worm castings are worm poop. One needs to be very careful if they purchase this that it is organic.
