Thanks for the post.

Out of a litter of 23, he is the only one that hasn't fed. It is a litter of normal BCI.

They are being kept separated in shoe-box size plastic containers on paper towels. I started all the other babies on live fuzzies...on their third meal i switched to f/t and they all took.

This little guy won't touch anything. I've inspected him numerous times and he seems flawless.

If i put him on aspen bedding, with a hide box and he still won't take, at what point should i try force feeding...and if i have to...what is the best way to do this.

Thanks for your advice.

Vince
