I'm rooting for the little one! Like... Normally you wouldn't assist feed one 2 days out of the egg either but I had to try. Took it like a champ and the difference was definitely there since. He's feisty and took a swipe at me earlier after this photo. Hahah.
This is a little one I think had a failed twin cause there was a weird pink fleshy mass attached to the yolk too.

Definitely happy they didn't say feed them too small but yeah... It's frustrating when you get a situation where you get talked down to as well. Or expect better.
I also had another reptile store tell me they couldn't reliably sex rats for me at the small size. Had me verify for them. Then started telling me the other employee would be in trouble cause I commented the smalls they were selling me were smaller than the ones I got the other day.... It was so weird. Especially since I held that store in high standards
