    Should I be worried?? Need advice

    I have 7 baby balls that hatched on 6/12/10. One is eating fine and one just ate his first last night (7/22). The other 5 are not eating. They are in a rack system with proper temps and humidity. All have hide boxes and very good privacy. 42 days without eating for these 5 Do I need to assist feed today or do I have time? I dont want to stress them if I dont have to of course. This is my first clutch so I guess this could be first time parent nerves Oh, I am offering mice fuzzies and have tried pinkies too.

    Pinky Mice are way too small...The Fuzzies are border line too...Try live hopper mice...If that doesn't work they need to be assist fed in the next couple weeks.

    Don't wait too long to get a meal in them...They get to a point where they can't digest the meal and will die.

    As far as worrying depending on their health, hydration, weight I generally do not start to worry before week for after shedding.

    Now as far as food Jon nailed it what you are offering is not appropriate for a BP.

    Try to get some hoppers.

    I would also recommend switching them to aspen if some are really hard to start this could make the difference.

    Thank you both. I need all the advice I can get.
    As far as the aspen bedding I switched to that a few weeks ago. I will get some hoppers tomorrow if they have them and try that. Thanks again!
