I have a 2 month old hatchling that won't eat. Does anyone know how long they can go before it gets dangerous for their health???? I have tried everthing, except gerbil pups which I can't find, including assist feeding. He does not look too bad yet. Still evry active with minor skin folds near his back end. I am wondering if I have just tried too hard and should leave him alone for a week at one last attempt before force feeding. If he does not eat within the next five days I am probably going to force feed. I am experienced with Balls and hatched out this baby myself with 3 others. Only one of them has been a good eater so far.

Would appreciate any advice,

-AS
