I just fed 6 out of 10 of my hatchlings that i picked up this year live. I gave the mtheir first feed after they had gotten comfortable in their new homes since they have all already had their first shed. I started with live because I feel like it gives them a good and strong feeding response early on. In a few more weeks (if not this one), I am going to start trying to wheen them to f/t.

Hope this helps

P.S. My first bp was being fed live becasue that is what the breeder was offering, within 2 feedings, I have gotten him to take f/t without a problem.
