    Babies won't eat

    I got 20 female CH BP's 2 weeks ago. I tried feeding after 1 week settling in time, 10 ate with a great feeding response, 10 wanted no part of the live hopper....They are in sterelite shoeboxes, with 92 in the back, and 83 in the front. They all have hides and a 8oz deli cup for water. I tried to feed yesterday and the same 10 ate and the same 10 wanted no part of it... Can you give me some suggetions on what to do?? Gerbil bedding in the tubs? Please let me know...

    Daniel beat me to it! That was the first thing I thought of as well (Adam's journal) for assistance!
