Assist Feeding Question

[sharkrocket]

1st thing I want to say is baby balls eat hoppers as soon as they come out.

The next thing I need to know is, how long have you had the ball? Has it been off feed for a while, if so, how long is a while?

Are you talking about mice? If so, I could see them eating hoppers first thing. I believe with rats pinkies are common as first food items.

As for the next thing you need to know, I have had the ball for a month, and it has never taken a meal with us. If he were well started I wouldn't be concerned about that, but this guy is a baby. 80 grams or so.

If you really are at the point of assist feeding, it is a good idea to get someone experienced to show you how to do it. SnakeByteTV had a good video recently on it that may also help.

Thanks, but I have watched all of those videos. I am wondering specifically why it looks so easy to pry their mouths open on the videos, but my guy was so stubborn!
