Then picked up live mice for my others. Had 1 really small one in the bunch. But sub adults. Put it in his tub closed it gave him 2 min alone. Opened the tub and he was wrapped and just begining to loosen off. Insta feed. And now hes a champ. Taking lots of food. Great appetite. 4 small mice in 1.5 weeks.

They can handle bigger food then we think. And if they will take it. LET THEM lol. Ive now decided all my hatchlings will be started on large hoppers or small weanlings. They move more and entice a better response. Ill worry about ft conversion after 150-200 grams
I think I'll try this next. The pinkies dont really move around alot maybe some movement will entice him.
