    It's not too young... When they are kept in the right environment they eat like vacuums at that age... A breeder should never sell you an animal that is off food since it was hatched.. Setting you up to fail in my opinion. They should have a minimum of their first shed and three meals... When you change them from breeder racks to these big open tanks its stresses them out... I will be honest with you too.. Most breeders will tell you they are on FT and the more realistic scenarios is they aren't. I have had very little success with hatchlings and first meal(s)being FT.. Just because they are captive bred doesn't mean they come out used to frozen thawed rodents.. You have to get that snake up to a healthy weight before you even consider switching back..
