    It won't guarantee anything though, a few of our best eating young adults had to be assist fed when they were babies.

    We let a hatchling get to 4 weeks after first shed and if it hasn't eaten by then it gets assist fed, sooner if it didn't absorb any yolk.
    I agree with this.

    One of my little dudes was a pain in the butt to start off, but once she figured out that eating is fun and good for her, she's become one of my best eaters. When I walk into the room, even if she was fed the day before, she always pops her head out of the hide to do two things: stare at me to see if I'm going to feed her and then if I don't immediately bring a meal to her, come out from the hide in the begging position... a 5 day schedule is rough on her.
