Hey I have a large collection, and i still have issues on feeding some hatchlings, As i have posted on this forum as well. But we try not to handle them after the 2nd or 3rd feeding. If we do it is quick and just to clean or weigh the snakes.Originally Posted by h00blah
some ppl do, and some ppl dont.
IMO, i would just wait til the bp is on a feeding pattern. i didnt handle my new additions until after the 2nd feeding with me. i dont really handle my QT animals often after purchasing the. i dont have a large collection, but that just makes each one more precious to me
but ya, i would suggest 2nd feeding, others may say 1st feeding. its gonna be hard, but it'll save u AND ur bp some stress
Hang in there.
We got our live feeders on to f/t by placing a live in the cage to get a feeding response, like when they get alert and hone in on the prey, Then swap live with a f/t quickly and zombie dance it and about 90% of the time they take the F/t. We do that a few feedings and then they get use to eating f/t. hope this helps.
