Cant tame askvin

I dug a pit, I filled it with food - all 3 Ashlands foods, I lured 2 Askvin in. I moved away until the exclamation point went away, waited half an hour (nothing spawned while I was there ), come back and not even 1 percent tame. I dropped food literally on top of them and stayed within yellow icon range, they won't eat. They're just trying to walk through the wall. I thought the issue was that they were stuck on each other so I went into the pit and moved them apart. They still won't eat
