Has anyone had entire clutches of hatchlings that are just butts about eating? I had several clutches over the summer and they all picked up eating immediately with no issues. Now I have 2 clutches hatched a week apart where there are several that are reluctant to eat. They do eat but just seem very uninterested and sporadic about doing so. What can make hatchlings act like this. They are all healthy,gaining wieght, and I run a pretty tight ship and husbandry is spot on, so I know health and husbandry is not the issue. My guess is that about a week after they hatched the temps were I live went from 70's-80's down to 30's-50's and we had about 2 weeks of on and off rain. Has anyone else noticed tempt changes/weather and hatchlings feeding habits? I know the weather effects my breeders so I'm assuming the same may go for hatchlings. I dont know, just wanted to see if this is common or not.Thanks
