I hatched out 5 babies on May 22 and can't get 1 of them to eat. The other 4 have eaten 6 times, however the 1 has only eaten 1 hopper mouse and is considerably smaller than the others. She was average size when she hatch but now over a month later, she's still the same weight. Any suggestions on how to get her to realize she's supposed "eat" the mouse/rat, not just hang out with it. Thanks, Joe
