Re: feeding babies...ahhhhh...help

How often are they being "pestered" with prey. If its more than once every 5-7 days thats what you are doing is pestering them, likely turning them off prey for even longer. Try once a week & do so at night. Are they all individually contained? If not do so ASAP. The sooner they are all kept individually the sooner they will eat. Keep them in shoebox rubbermaids or smaller & offer them the prey in their houses. Only interaction should be to change their water & to offer prey until they are established. Of course a nice quiet low traffic area is best as well. How old are they? Remember until they hatched all they did their whole lives prior was eat. Sometimes its just a matter of waiting them out. How long did you wait prior assist feeding them? If it was less than a month or 2, it was too soon. Unless they were/are becoming thin & lethargic that is. Good luck with them, Mark
