I guess 5 outta 6 aint bad .... hatchlings first feedings

[T_Sauer]

Hopper still do nurse, and they also start eating solid food try offering some dog food kibbles with cheerios. It may or may not make it depends if it is close to be weaned to start with.

Thanks Deborah, I thought that Hoppers were still at the nursing but then was confused at the fact that it had teeth, none the less it seems to be content with the few pieces of dog food I tossed in there, (I fell asleep to the sound of little teeth at work and it was also the first thing I heard when I woke up LOL) I'll am going to toss a couple cheerios in today so it has a little variety in diet

If you don't think it will thrive, you can always dispatch it using cervical dislocation and then freeze it to be used later. It could be used when you are trying to convert an animal to FT, if in fact you ever feed in that manner.

I had considered this method at the get go because I was unsure it would survive do to A.) Will I be able to get it to eat and B.) Getting stressed because it had no siblings and nothing to interact or huddle with, which would lead back to A.) Not eating ..... The option for dispatch is still on the table, but as long as it continues to eat and remain healthy and alert, it will make it alive to next weeks dinner date with the hatchlings
