Posted - 30/07/2012 : 11:11:39 Hi im in need of urgent advice on how to get my new corns to eat. 11 eggs all hatched and look health and are active, one even very aggressive but most are chilled. I have four that have not eaten and hatched out on the 16th july. the other 7 are on there third meals now and im really concerned as the advice my brother got from the pet shop was that they probably wont eat now and its common (just nature) I defrost the pinkies for hrs beside there tubs, have got rat bedding and put it in, cut the pinkies smaller, even tried defrosting the pinkines with mice to try increases scent. what else can i do? is it normal for them to miss so many meals and how long will they survive without intervention. Please let me know even if you have had a similar experience and it may not be good news. this is my first clutch and want to do everything i can to help them.
thanks Euan
