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.
