I thought all the excitement was gone from this site then I took a quick browse of this thread...
As a note for any new people that read through this thread. Babies that are striking are most likely hungry. Anything that moves may be food in their very small brains. I haven't added animals from outside my collection for quite a while but when I did I always attempted to feed them immediately. About half the time they will eat. Many breeders do not feed at a rate we would in private collections and or a feeding has been intentionally skipped before shipping so there are no regurgitation issues during the shipment. Animals, especially young ones arrive hungry. If the animal does not eat immediately, make it comfortable then don't mess with it for a week.
