Got all the hatchlings (but one) from the first clutch on f/t rat fuzzies, but boy it wasn't easy, LOL. Their first meal was live mouse hoppers, since they refused f/t at their first feeding.
The only one who took it almost right away is the Killer Bee. But then, that one is bold and curious (not defensive or aggressive, though)
For all the others it took a lot of patience. I kept having to warm the fuzzies back up and then try one snake and if there was no go, another snake and back and forth while their excitement grew. At times I had to hold it up to them for minutes while they contemplated and sniffed it, LOL. My arm grew numb.
Finally the last f/t rat fuzz is gone, whew.
One of those hatchlings has yet to take its first meal, so he/she has a live hopper running around in the tub.
The second clutch is one week past their first shed and they will all get a live hopper in their tub tonight. Not sure they will take it yet, seems it takes a couple of weeks after shed for them to get really hungry? All my hatchlings were really good sizes (69 to 76 gr) and they all absorbed their entire yolk.
