Pro tip I found that they eat better if you chop it up for them. Mojo has been eating all the food I give him since I started chopping it up.

Do you give him a scrubbing when you soak him? Is it possible that it's hard water staining?

Whatever method you try. Test it on yourself first. Humans have done animal testing for years, it's time to give back and do Human testing.

You might try contacting gorilla glue company themselves. Thanks to the lady that used their glue to hold her hair in place a year or so ago, this won't be the weirdest thing they've encountered.
