mont is super lazy when feeding..but hoping that one of my newbies will be a bit more proactive about it lol but im hoping that mont will slowly pick up the art of striking.. he attempts to strike but its like he gives up half way lmao

Dont really know anything about hatchlings but maybe you can encourage them to strike if you do the 'pinkie dance' each time you feed them, so they think the prey is alive??? xxx
My hatchling is only 2 days old it has stuck at me a couple of times hasnt had its first feed yet but if its anything like the father it will strike no probs he has done this since a hatchling though the mother never has struck at anything.
