Hi All,

Had a very small clutch of 3 babies hatch out 5 days ago and they have thus far shown no interest what-so-ever in eating. I have tried live pinkies and brained, thawed frozen pinkies. I noticed this morning that their eyes have glazed over as though they are going into shed mode, so I figured I'd leave them be till they shed, but how long is too long without feeding? Isn't it a little too soon for them to be shedding, anyway? I plan to try the brained pinkies again after shed and if that doesn't work cut them in half and see if they'll go for that. Anything else I should or shouldn't be doing at this stage? Don't want to lose these guys, they are really nice specimens. Thanks in advance for any advice you care to offer...........
