Where do you stand on if they don't eat right away though? Do you still suggest offering food daily or then wait and let them chill for a bit?



Patience is where I stand..lol!



That and you need to make sure if you are supporting the animals well.



You can read FR posts on that.



I do things a little different with neonates than FR.. I like to keep them in a small space so they can find the food and have plenty of humidity. I tend to control the babies more.. but that is because I can get them to eat and grow so fast they don't stay small but a couple months tops.



A deli cup works. But I use reptile basics baby racks.. Heat in the back and it has these long narrow trays 1 1/2" wide) and about 1 foot long.
