Bruce - maybe try buying some larger pellet trained YP that are too big for most of your predators. Sometimes the other perch that hang with the pellet feeders will learn to take some feed from example. Using softened (hydrated) pellets helps a lot to get new perch to initially accept pellets. I plan on preparing a PB article how I train larger YP and others for a spring issue.
