Getting hatchlings to eat.

[Badgemash]

I have a baby that hatched in July that still isn't eating on his own...however, most will start eating on their own after an assist or two...

I'm in the same boat with two of mine. I've been assist feeding them for 6 months now. I've never had to assist feed more than a handful of times before this year. Like he said, usually it only takes a few times if that.

I'm really glad you both posted this, as I have two that are being troublesome. One was a runt, from a mini egg with only a tiny yolk (hatched at 32g, I let her shed and then intervened when she dropped to 29g), and the other one has eaten only a few times (she'll just starve herself). I was starting to feel like I was doing something wrong, even though I have some pretty expert help around locally. Hatchlings can just be SO frustrating, and I'm at least comforted knowing it's not just me who has "special" babies.
