So my babies pippedéhatched July 5 and fully emerged around the 7th. they all shed and were hungry on the 17th, some 18th. One still has not eatten... her siblings have all had second feeds, but she still hasnt had her 1st.We have done frozen, tried a live. Brained one, tried bi-secting another.. still to no avail. I have read that from shed they can survive about 3 weeks to a feed.. tried rubbing them in mouse scent..still nothing.
Anyone with suggestions that I can try
