First feeding?

What is the usual trend for the first meal? I just had 7 hatch, they all shed so I offered each an appropriately sized ASF and none ate it after 24hrs. So I took them all out and plan to try again in 5 days. What seems to be the usual trend with this?

That's weird that none of them ate. I find that babies are pretty picky and feeding them late a night is the best option.

I have a couple questions,
1 are they all in their own tubs and what are the tubs like
2 why are you offering ASFs rather than mice/rats

Yes they are all in there own tubs. They are the 5or6qt shoe box tubs with paper towels as substrate with small bowls of water. I just checked and through the towels the warm spot was at 88 so I just bumped the temp, not sure if that would be enough to throw them off. As far as ASFs it is because I think mice stink too much to breed and I just started breeding rats and don't have any babies yet.
