Unexpected babies...couple of questions

[Alicia]

Ok so another update. I'm getting worried about two of them.

The he two that ate last week ate again this week. Yah!

the two that did not eat...they didn't eat again. They didn't have live fuzzies (they were sold out)so she got the smallest hoppers they had. offered and nothing. I'm worried about them. Now what? I'm at a loss...how much longer do I give them? Ugh....

Don't consider assist feeding yet. Panic is natural, but it's not your friend. If your rodent supplier gets fuzzies a day or two before the week is up, snag them. Otherwise, unless you have to change a cage, leave these two non-feeders alone as much as possible. Right now, for non-feeders, all nonessential contact only causes stress. We want to minimize that.

Real quick though, a couple questions I haven't found answers to in the thread -
What are the babies housed in? Are they in tanks? Tubs? What size?

Are they still on paper towels? Aspen or cypress (cypress is awesome for humidity) creates a more secure feeling than paper.

Are you still misting daily?

Assist feeding an otherwise healthy baby is the absolute last resort. Some babies stress easier and need more attention to detail on their setups than others. A lot of the time, figuring out what they need to feel secure, as well as providing appropriate prey, is all it takes. Hopefully, someone else will chime in with more ideas.
