So I tried feeding my newly hatched (and shed) clutch of five last night. One of them ate a rat pinkie within an hour.

I left rat pinks in overnight, no takers. Only one of the five has taken the first meal.

My question is - What is the ratio that you have of hatchlings that feed the first attempt versus hatchlings that take a few rounds to get a clue?

I had this problem last year. Only one of them ate right at the get go, the others had some issues.

Is it me...or is it them that's the issue?
