OK, so Luna is in her new vivarium and seems quite happy in there; very active, always trying to get out etc.

We're leaving her alone for a week obviously, but she's not been fed since Sept 2nd so she'll hopefully be quite peckish by the time Monday comes around. Do I have to do anything special feeding a hatchling for the first time, or is just a case of doing what I do with Bella only with pinkies rather than fuzzies? The feeding/shedding schedule that came with her shows she's eaten 9 times since she hatched, and 3 times since her last shed.

Good luck - we'll be doing the same with Diamond on Monday! How exciting. Her record shows she's fed 5 times and not since last shed but that was only last week so hopefully again she'll be hungry.

Keep us posted how it goes!

Yeah same kinda stuff, you may have to be patient... and the rub box with a towel over it trick maybe required. If she doesn't feed straight away leave her alone in the rub with a towel or blanket over with the pinkie for an hour and see where that gets you.
