I've had several ball babies for 10 days now. I separated them last Tuesday and have offered them food twice since. My own female immediately took the f/t mouse I gave her, imagine my relief. Apparently I succeeded in picking up the one with the best appetite. At that first feeding she was the only one of the eight babies who ate, but one of the males did strike too, sadly he got my finger not the mouse (I did use tongs, but they were apparently too small). Well, luckily he's still very small, so he didn't do much damage. Yesterday he took the f/t mouse I gave him, as did another one of the males. The others haven't eaten in over two weeks as it is. Some of them seemed to be frightened of the mice I offered, should I try smaller mice? Might also be that the humidity is too high in some of the tanks (I'm having a bit of a problem lowering it, I made rubbermaid enclosures described in the DIY section, with even more ventilation holes than suggested, but it's still too high) or that they don't like their hides. Two boys are also still together, but one of them will be picked up today, might be they didn't want to eat if they're stressed because being housed together.

I just hope, hope, hope, they will all eat next time... They're still so small.
