Can anyone help me with the runt????
I just hatched 7 babys, 6 are healthy, and I did get one RUNT!
He is a really cool cinny, but he is less than half the size of his bro's & Sisters.
Any help would be appreciated as this is my 1st ever clutch!
Does anyone have any advise or tips on keeping him alive, and getting hime to eat? (what to eat??) They all hatched over the last 48 hrs. and as soon as they shed im seperating them grabbing live pinky's and hoping for the best when feeding day arrives.
Thanks in advance, here he is!
With siblings for comparison

If he lives and stays that color you should send him to me :gj: Awesome little snake! Goodluck :)
Re: Can anyone help me with the runt????
pinkys wont move around enough to stimulate feeding responses. try hoppers for the normal size guys and maybe a small hopper or fuzzy for the bitty there. He has a nice looking belly (full of yoke) so he doesn't look to be in danger right now. Give him a try every 4/5 days with a live fuzzy and if he doesn't take by the third attempt i would probably assist feed him (I wouldn't let someone that small go toooo long without a meal.)
Good luck with him and his clutch mates, get some updated pics after they shed :)

I had a 17g runt last yr my Ivory I had to assist feed him 6 times til he finally took his first meal on his own. Good luck with him I started mine on fuzzy mice OP take a look at my blog you can see pic's of him. He is now a year old and 550g.;)
Again good luck.
