With my last 14 hatchling all of them start eating after 1 week. More than half start eating after 4 days after hatch.

My tips:

- give them bending, so they can bury in it.
- if You are keep them in rack systems, make boxes less transparent. If they wouldn`t see You they would not stress. If boxes is too big it is not good. They MUST feel save, this is the most important issue.

With this conditions, more than half of my hatchlings eats without scenting.

- last, for this who will not eat normal pinky - deep pinky in tuna fish out of can. Leave pinky for a night. Aster 3-4 meals with scenting try pinky without scenting.

My hatchlings, after 2 weeks takes normal pinkys from tweezers.
