I ALWAYS wait until well after their first shed. The way I look at it is,....since they already have a good head start with gut yolk, I wait until it gets depleted and I am more certain they will actually BE hungry to get a better feel of their individual feeding responses, and what I might do different with the next feedings if any keep refusing. I just like to do the initial offering when they are actually HUNGRY. I guess what I am saying is that I figure why bother feeding them when I know many might not want to eat anyway.
