i bought 2 new baby balls, a female vanilla and a male fire, both from the same breeder. breeder said the 2 i got have refused to eat. (so i got for a discounted price) however i was successful at getting them to eat with a little help on my part. very excited about this. hopefully in the next week or so they will be all settled in and eating without any convincing. just wanted to share my experience for the day.
