I have 12 corn hatchlings that we have born between 3rd and 7th August. 8 of the 12 haven't eaten yet, should I be worried? How long can hatchlings go without eating. They seem healthy enough.

thaw them first then boil for a few minutes, keeping an eye out in case they pop (they probably will a bit) then let them cool a bit and feed while still warm

They are in small individual rubs, with a water bowl and a hide. I have frozen pinkies so do you literally put them in boiling water, how long do you boil them for? Thanks very much for the advice.

most of a clutch i had a couple of years back took 3 months to start eating........
how are you housing them?

don't worry too much just yet. To give them a bit of a start try a little reptoboost in their water and try a boiled pinky, usually very good to get them eating
