    Baby Ball Python Help

    I was just wondering if anyone had some suggestions on how to best feed some picky newborns. I hatched out three babies on 7-20-11. Two of the babies have shed while the other still has not. It has not even gone into blue. I tried to feed the two that did shed out live pinky rats twice with a refusal from both each time. So i resorted to live hopper ASFs. Of course they ate them without any issue. Then 7 days later I tried to feed scented live rat pinks and only one ate while the other only gave defensive strikes.
    Now for the baby that has not shed yet it began looking thin so I tried a live rat pink and of course got a refusal. So then a live hopper ASF and the baby ate it. so about 6 days later I tried to feed it a scented live rat pink and got nothing but defensive strikes. So as of now two of them have had one meal and the third has had two. And one baby still is showing no sign of shedding.
    Any suggestions are appreciated. I am new at this and am just kind of nervous.

    Thanks

    Sounds like you just keep doing what you are doing! Get some weight on them before worrying about switching them. That's what I would do at least.
