Figures my luck would run out now!

No I believe he was saying if you're not willing to assist feed. But you are more than willing to do what needs to be done :)
People learn all the time, even the experts! Please let us know how it goes.

Once they start feeding, I would definitely try cluttering the tubs or use a smaller one. (Not sure what size they are in)

Oh I know what he was saying. I didnt take any of that as insulting or what not. I am definitely more than willing to do whatever it takes to make sure my babies thrive. These little gems are my pride and joy, and I'd be heartbroken if I lost one of them.
They are in 6qt sterilite shoe boxes, with small coconut hides and a small water bowl. I did have crumpled paper in with them for the first couple weeks, but they seemed to respond well (aside from lack of eating) to the small hides.

Once they're eating I'd try the crumpled paper again.

I will do that. Thanks :-)

Yeah in no way was anything meant as a negative or anything like that. Sometimes what I say comes out rough but it has good intentions! Keep us updated!

No worries Zach, all advice is much appreciated and taken to heart!

Late to the party, but good advice from all. I don't know many who have been breeding for any length of time that have not had a few hatchlings that needed a jump start aka assist feed. I have had several. It's just one of the many things most people never think of when breeding. Also wanted to mention not to get frustrated if your hatchling(s) spit the pink back out a few times. Just be patient and try 2-3 times to get them to take it, if it gets too stressful on the snake (or on you) wait a day or two and try again. You can also try this little trick (as gruesome as it sounds): open up the pinks head and get to the brain matter. Nasty, yeah but it sometimes can help entice a stubborn hatchling to eat. Good luck!

Don't beat yourself up. Assist feeding is a last resort because it's just not pleasant, and we want to see our little snakes thrive on their own. You did the right thing by offering different feeders and in different ways. You came here instead of being stubborn and not asking for help.

I just don't want to see anyone else go through a loss because I know how hard it is, and there's always some part that of you that blames yourself. It's human nature.

Let us know how the assist feed goes. Good luck!

Well, that was a dismal failure. I just finished trying to assist feed all 4 hatchlings, and not a single one was having any of it. I'm afraid if I wait another 5 days to try again it'll be too little too late, but I don't want to stress them, or myself, any more than I already have!

Is there someone that could help you?
