    They are here!..But need advise...

    I just got the email, that my new babies are here! I can either go pick them up or wait for them to have there first shed and meal.
    Should I wait? what are the risks of taking them home now? They are CH and have been here since Tuesday. I know that sometimes they have problems eating. Since I am a new BP owner, I just want to make sure I'm doing the best for my new friends, even though I want to go get them right now!!!
    I am just so excited.

    Since you're new, it would probably be a wise thing to wait till they've eaten and have shed.

    I agree, I think you'll be much happier if you let them get them started for you.

    Thanks, I thought that would be best, but I needed to have a couple people to affirm my thoughts.

    I'd agree that you should leave them until they have shed and fed a few times. That way you can also get the information on exactly what they are eating (rats or mice) and in using which method (live, f/t or p/k). When they come home you can duplicate this, after their settling in period, and up your chances for successful feeds right out of the gate.
