I agree, we need an update. Have any came out yet, are they ok? We're anxious to see what you got too. You can't just go posting previews and then not provide pictures of the outcome! Lmao, I'm just messing with you but seriously we need an update.

I had actually posted an update earlier today, but it's not here for some reason... So, all 9 babies have emerged from the eggs and are resting comfortably in their baby tubs... The last stubborn one finally emerged just today! It was the one that someone had suggested might be a Paradox, but as it turns out, it's just a regular BEL. The markings went away... I will definitely post photos of all of them for you guys after they shed! I still can't believe that 4 out of 9 eggs were BELs and only 1 normal, though! I reeeaaally got lucky my first time around!

Just a couple of quick questions... Have any of you had any success getting BP hatchlings to eat frozen/thawed pinkies from day 1 after their first shed or is it not even worth trying? How long after their first shed should I try feeding them?

Congrats on the clutch! I'm glad to hear they all came out ok.

I feed pretty much all f/t rats except for the first few feeding of my hatchlings. Some of them just don't catch on right away and you want everything in your favor for getting them started. I tried f/t my very first clutch and I had 0% success. After that I tried mouse hoppers and 8 out of 9 ate. So I don't mess around anymore. First meal is mouse hopper and then I start converting them the very next meal. 90% eat that first time with the hopper and then by the 3rd-4th meal I usually have them all eating f/t hoppers. Once I have them eating f/t, then I switch them over to rats right away as well. I've had 100% of my hatchlings on f/t rats within the first couple months after hatching doing it this way.
Good luck!
