Update on Hatchling

[rabernet]

She is in a 16qt in the main rack. I know that is too big. I wasn't able to get a hatchling rack like I needed because we hit a financial snag halfway through incubation (husband lost job). Now we are just waiting till he gets his paycheck and I'll be ordering a hatchling rack.

I haven't tried anything but mice since she's so small. I don't have access to anything but mice and rats. She doesn't even look like she's ready to shed yet. She's still shiny.

So I could try moving her to a smaller container, but I don't have anything smaller.

Go to Walmart and buy a six quart tub, line it with paper towel and a water dish and stick her in the incubator if you don't have other heating for the tub. The six quart tub is $1.

Then after a few days, put the live prey item in the tub with her and leave her be for at least an hour.

At some point, if she's still refusing, you're going to need to consider assist feeding her.
