I have gotten LOTS of carpets eating, and mouse pinks is NOT the way to go. If I were you I would leave them completely alone for a week or so and then throw in a fuzzy. Not just barely with hair, a full on fuzzy. The only reason why they wouldn't be able to take down a fuzzy would be if they had other health problems going on. If you can, take a pic of them in your hand so that I can see their size and body weight and I can tell you if I would be worried or not. More than likely you are just fine and they are just fine. 90% of the time when stuff like this happens everything is fine and the advice to just be patient works. But, if you are worried they are losing a significant amount of body weight then I would be concerned. So, feel free to post some pics, and let us know how they do for you. I'll cross my fingers for you. I for sure understand the stress of problem feeders! I was assist feeding a tri-colored hognose this morning at 3 am. Gotta love itBut, at least in my experience, the vast majority come around and do just fine, so don't let it stress you out too much.
