Hi,

In April I hatched a clutch of 5 normals (1.4 ratio) and the runt of the clutch would not eat at all. So I kept thinking I wonder why. Well it hit me! A hide box! So I put a hide box in the babys bin and sure enough within 24 hours or less of that happening she ate and hasn't quit since.
So give the small one a hide box.
Another question though is what temp are you keeping the baby at?
