The babies are a real pain to get to go. Only a few of the babies will eat defrosted scented pinks. Most won't even eat live
lizards. I've been told they will eat the trees lizards but don't have any close to where I live to try them.
The best way to keep them alive is to give them defrosted lizards
pushed back into there mouth until they realize its food then they will readily eat it the rest of the way. But if its alive and moves it freaks them out and they will reject it asap.
Eventually they get smart and start to take scented pinks and mice on there own it just takes alot of time and work.
I do find it very rewarding in the end to work with them.
One other thing interesting about the adults is they double clutch without ever breeding a second time.
