Hmm if they are licking it off maybe you are using too much/not rubbing it in enough. I really have to rub it into my ham's chews, sometimes I let it dry for a little bit before putting it back in the cage.

Dentastix sound like something I want to try with my ham though, keep his teeth clean n all!

I find the dried corn something my ham ignores, he likes anything fruit flavoured. We have found he will even try to chew something with flamin' hot monster munch flavouring on it (e.g. fingers!) but I stopped him doing that because I doubt it's good for him XD.

Get creative with fruit flavours, my ham likes fruit flavoured chews (p@h has small chewable blocks which are perfect).
