I was just wondering how long can hatchlings go without a feed before it becomes serious. I had isolde a week after her third feed, so i waited a week to let her settle in, and then the accident with her eye happened so i thought best to wait a week before attempting to feed. I gave her a pinkie and left it over night but she didnt take it, that was a week ago. i tried feeding her yesterday and she didnt take it again. So its been a month since shes fed.

I know adults can go for that long with no probs at all, but I'm not too sure about hatchlings tbh - I'm sure someone will know on here though and put your mind at rest soon enough. Is her eye ok now??
