    F/T to Babies?

    I just got me 3 July 2010 (2 Normal Females, 1 Cinny Male) and i was wondering if i should feed them live or is it ok to try F/T with them? The breeder fed them live.

    I see no problem in giving it a try. If they don't take, go with live though, they need to eat when young.

    I know a lot of people feed solely live for hatchlings, but I've never had to feed live to a hatchling, they normally eat whatever is offered right after their first shed, which for me is F/T hoppers.

    Feed what they were fed with the breeder till you know they will be strong feeders.

    Once they eat great for you then try F/T

    Cool. I made a decent size order with RodentPro so hopefully they get here soon. In the meantime i know 2 people in the area that breed rats and i think mice too. Ill get some live untill my frozen stuff gets here.
