That one did eat 3 days ago
I have only tried the first clutch on feeding so far. The second only just got done shedding.
Out of the 7 hatchlings, I got 6 to eat. Just 3 days ago, so it did take a while!! Yes, quite worrisome until they finally eat
They refused the f/t rat pinks. They refused the live rat fuzzies. They finally took like mouse hoppers !! I waited about a week before trying again each time. The first couple feedings, they may not have been that hungry yet.
They acted "afraid" of the live fuzzies (they were biggish rat fuzzies, though). They surely didn't like the hyper hoppers either, but finally went for it. The Killer Bee was the first to eat, didn't take long. The others took a bit longer. I kept peeking with the red light every so often. That last hopper I had to switch between 2 snakes that were interested but shy. The one finally went for it.
The Killer Spinner killed one hopper but then didn't eat it but kept looking around. So I put another live hopper in and it was killed and eaten right away.
My "garbage disposal" Pastel Desert Ghost Arjana ate anything the little ones didn't. She eats everything though and is always ready!! LOL
This Friday I'm getting more hoppers, going to try the second clutch too, but they may not be that hungry yet.
After a few meals I will try to switch them to F/T rats..
