Hi im in need of urgent advice on how to get my new corns to eat. 11 eggs all hatched and look health and are active, one even very aggressive but most are chilled. I have four that have not eaten and hatched out on the 16th july. the other 7 are on there third meals now and im really concerned as the advice my brother got from the pet shop was that they probably wont eat now and its common (just nature) I defrost the pinkies for hrs beside there tubs, have got rat bedding and put it in, cut the pinkies smaller, even tried defrosting the pinkines with mice to try increases scent. what else can i do? is it normal for them to miss so many meals and how long will they survive without intervention. Please let me know even if you have had a similar experience and it may not be good news. this is my first clutch and want to do everything i can to help them.

thanks
Euan

Lots of things you could try eg leaving them with it overnight covered over so its nice and dark scenting with tuna Brine or dropping the pinkies in boiled water for a minute then letting them cool slightly before offering also braining sometimes taking them for a drive works other people swear by marmite lol dabbing a lil bit of the head of the pinkie good luck dont give up just yet think you have a while before you really need to worry just yet they may just not be hungry yet
