sorry if am being a pain lol 4 of our 13 hatchlings are not eating yet all the others have had 3 pinkies each we had to tease feed them they are all great eaters and striking everytime but the 4 that are not just aint interested we have tried all we can think of, braining, warm pinkies poly cup leaving it overnight teasing still no luck how much longer before we should be really worried they are nearly 4 weeks old and shed within the first week an half, any other suggestions.

I think some hatchlings just take longer than others to start feeding, so your best off continuing with what you doing for a while and hoping they start eating.

If they become really skinny and listless then that's when you should worry.

Try contacting your local rep shop to see if they would be prepared to take them on if you can't get them going. They might know a few tricks that get them kick started
