    Hatchling finally ate

    The 2nd of my first 2 hatclings that came into the world on 8/14, weighing only 34g due to a twisted umbilicus. I have been trying to assist feed without success, well today I wasn't going to take no for an answer beacause it dropped down to 26g.

    I figured I'd assist 1 last time, if a failure was going the tube fed route.

    Success!!! even though it was only a 4g asf pinkie, I am pleased.

    Meanwhile my spider hatchling is turning into a little piggy, she hatched out at 43g, dropped to 40g, and is now up to 56g

    Re: Hatchling finally ate

    Congrats, that's a start, hopefully it starts eating on it's own soon.
    I had a granite girl refuse for awhile while her sibs all doubled their weight in 1 month she was still at 67 grams and not eating.
    Finally she ate 2 decent size pinky rats this past week after refusing asf's over and over.
    Good luck with them
