Have you ever given up on a hatchling who won't eat?

[Gemini Pythons]

I haven't had to assist feed neonate ball pythons but I have with BRB's. The longest was just over a year; she was from a weak premature litter where only two survived and there were lots of stills and slugs. The larger of the two was assist fed a few times, the smaller had absorbed very little yolk and was about half the size of a healthy neonate.

Wow, when she finally snagged you must have been over the moon!! Thank you!! We'll be doing the same then if it's what the baby needs! :-)
