3 of the 4 hatchlings I have refuse to eat they don’t regurgitate their food when a pinkie pipette is used nor when I massage little bits of food down into their tummies. The problem is I can’t get a whole pinkie in their mouth far enough to be able to massage it down without them spitting it right back out, any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Have you tried a chick thigh, apparently they are great for non-eaters? If that works then next time try a chick-scented pinky.

You can order day old chicks from 888 reptiles but i think they sell them in quite large numbers.

Try your local rep shop, a lot of places sell day-old chicks, then just lop a thigh off.

I got my day old chicks from Jollies (think they are a chain, like Pets at Home, so might be one near you)

I think I got 50 for about £4.40 or something else ridiculous. It was definitely less than a fiver anyway.
