Normally you'll have better luck with live hopper mice. Keep us posted. I find myself logging in everyday just to check this thread.

Re: Unexpected Eggs
Hi guys. I tried to feed the babies live hopper mice today, but none of them wanted to eat. Its been 2 weeks since they hatched, so when do they get hungry? Are they born digesting their eggs yolk? I ask because Cleo pooped in my daughter's hand today (too funny). Anyway, I took some new pics of the kids.
Any updates on how bugsy did - has he shed and did it help any? :please:

The kids are all doing OK. None have eaten on their own yet. I have assist fed each one frozen pinkies twice. The only really stubborn one was Rocco. He really didnt want to eat and kept trying to spit it out. Cleo and Bugsy gobbled down the pinkies as soon as I got them in thier mouths. I went to the pinkies after they refused live hopper mice.
Bugsy is still having eye problems, but not as bad as they were. I'm hoping she does better as she gets older and sheds a few more times. However, I think she has a mouth/jaw problem as well. It just doesnt look right when she opens it. It looks like one side doesnt close evenly with the other. With that said, she is still as active as the other 2 and flicks her short little tongue out while exploring.
Cleo and Rocco are also both very active and love to climb, but Cleo still has that kink in her neck. The vet said she should grow out of it.
Eptius (mom) has also been very active since the babies hatched. She unlike the babies is eating great. She has eaten every rat I've put in front of her. Every time I walk by her tank she sticks her head out of her hide rock as if to see what I have for her.
Hopefully, I'll be able to get the kids eating on their own soon. :)

I'm glad things are working out for you. Good luck with the youngsters, I know first hand how anxious you can get hoping they'll eat on their own. At least they're all doing well.

Good new. I gave Cleo AKA Kinky a hopper mouse tonight and left them alone for a little while. While I was out of the room, she killed it and started eating it. She eventually ate the whole thing. I'll try Rocco and Bugsy tomorrow.
