Hatchlings striking, but not costricting

[200xth]

I just wasn't sure how long they could go and still be ok. I know my adults can go months without food, but obviously this is different.

Hatchlings can go 6 or 7 weeks before eating. I had one hatch on July 23 this year. No interest in food. The others ate fine, but this one wanted nothing to do with food. Finally ate on Sept 7 (46 days, almost 7 weeks).

If there's a medical condition or problem that's one thing, but an otherwise healthy hatchling can make it to week 6 or 7 before you need to start considering alternatives.
