How long has it took your new/baby BP to start eating?

[Katie07]

100 & 175 grams sound like they have a few meals in them already.. Maybe I'm missing something here? Any reputable breeder will tell you they wait for the snakes first shed and 3 meals minimum before selling... Im not sure if this post is about curiosity or you are having a real problem? If this is the first time you have had snakes that small I would ask, what are your plans with feeding them and what were they eating before? I wouldn't start to panic at all at this point as if both of them hadn't eaten up until this point they wouldn't be alive more than likely or they would look severely emaciated..

I'm just asking for people's personal experiences and what to expect as I know it can take babies a while to acclimate to their new surroundings. As I've stated, both were eating before I got them - on rat fuzzies. I just don't want the smaller one to drop too much weight before she acclimates and begins to eat in her new home here. I just want to know what the norm is for that sort of "buffer" period for settling in. When they are eating, I'll probably do the same I had done with my other hatchling and feed them a rat fuzzy every 5 days until they reach around 300-400g.

edit: yeah, that's what I meant (: Live-feeding is banned here and they were on f/t rats so I'm not too worried about that aspect - thank you.
