I am going to say that they are your babies and you need to do what you feel is right. The videos do help (they have for sure helped me) in assist and force feeding. I have had to force feed my pewter butter just last week for the very first time, it was def nerve racking but I knew it was best for the snake since I had zero luck assist feeding and trying every trick in the book. And it was a success. He still is not eating on his own yet so another assist feed before force feed. But every one was a rookie at some point. So just use your knowledge and do what you feel you need to do. And good luck. Experience hands always help but if you don't have it, then keeping the baby alive is the main goal.
