Extremely malnourished ball

Not to get off topic but I fully agree they will starve themselves... case in point my hatchling that didn't eat for 2 months, no matter what I tried, she took the live within a minute of it hitting her tank floor, and has ever since
I was not willing to find out if she'd hold out longer than me.

I understand they will starve themselves. I think my whole point was that if you try ALL means of feeding, I believe they will eat eventually. Im defentlly not saying may not, I just believe they will. Now if you dont try everything and lets say only try F/T....yes they may starve themselves to death. In the case with your baby, if you only kept trying what you were, then maybe it wouldnt of turned out as good. You tried something different and the baby ate. Thats all I was trying to say.

Folks, if you need to continue the discussion about whether BPs will starve themselves or not, please start a new thread. I know you didn't mean to hijack, but let's not forget why the OP posted in the first place.

BTW - Good luck and keep us posted!
