    Of course, I was just responding to the main question in the topic itself of whether or not some will always refuse for their entire life. I definitely wouldn't suggest forcing a very young hatchling/baby through that. I mentioned in my post that I was typing at the same time as you were submitting this post that waiting until they are a few months old and have had time to build up a decent store of body weight is best.
