I've had my first clutch hatch a few weeks back with out too much trouble, everyone shed fine and 4 out of the 6 newborn started eating dead rats right off the bat and are growing fast. My problem is with my other 2 that has not taken a meal yet, I have offered dead rats, then dead mice. When that fail to get them interested, I moved to offering live rats then mice again they have shown no interest at all to any food items offered even when left in the tub overnight. I'm starting to see a slight loss in muscle tone and would like start assist feeding them before it become a life and death issue. I have never performed this and even after reading a lot about it and watching a ton of videos, I'm still worried about it all. Some of what I've seen seems just down right wrong but some might be ok and some just contradict the last thing I saw so I''m a bit confused as well.

I would like to hear from you that have some experiences in getting the young ones started. How you go at it, what to watch for, any tips to share and possibly videos that illustrate the best possible way to go at it.

Bonus infos: the hatchling are in shoebox size tubs with an appropriate size hide on paper towels. Tub are at 28C (82ish F for you imperial folks) and the hides are at 30C (86F), humidity varies between 45 and 55% They have a water bowls as well. They don't seem to have intestinal blockage as they both passed urates multiple times and defecated once when they shed too.

Thanks for your time
