I want to apologize for seeming a little short on this. I got rushed out the door. I was wanting to add that the enchi taking the f/t so fast was a shock. And the normal is the 2nd hatchling I've had that has refused food. I had a butter hatchling go almost 2 months without 1st meal.

Have you tried the 'hairdryer' method for feeding ??

I first thaw in cold water. Then place in front of space heater for few minutes. Then use blow dryer and temp gun to get a temp of 98-100 off critter.

Maybe worth thawing naturally or even on a heat mat or radiator ??
I have a couple who completely ignored the mouse when I tried thawing in water .. it's bound to wash most of the body smell away and it's important for some

I place them in sealed baggies before putting in water. For the normal I will continue every 4-6 days with live till he eats. And plus I've had them since 11/22/17. One week after hatching.
