OK, so Luna is in her new vivarium and seems quite happy in there; very active, always trying to get out  etc.
We're leaving her alone for a week obviously, but she's not been fed since Sept 2nd so she'll hopefully be quite peckish by the time Monday comes around. Do I have to do anything special feeding a hatchling for the first time, or is just a case of doing what I do with Bella only with pinkies rather than fuzzies? The feeding/shedding schedule that came with her shows she's eaten 9 times since she hatched, and 3 times since her last shed. |

| Yeah same kinda stuff, you may have to be patient... and the rub box with a towel over it trick maybe required. If she doesn't feed straight away leave her alone in the rub with a towel or blanket over with the pinkie for an hour and see where that gets you. |

Good luck - we'll be doing the same with Diamond on Monday! How exciting. Her record shows she's fed 5 times and not since last shed but that was only last week so hopefully again she'll be hungry.
Keep us posted how it goes! |
