What does everyone start their neonate boas on for food. From the litter born Feb. 11 I have a little over half on frozen thawed rat pinks, but the other half has not eaten and refuses to eat-- for those that did not eat frozen thawed rat pinks I tried the following:

1. put boas in paper sack with frozen thawed rat pinky-worked for a couple.

2. live rat pinkies got one or two to eat the rest ignored

3. tried frozen thawed mouse hoppers worked for a couple more the other night.



Does anyone else do anything different, also how long have you guys had the babies go before they finally ate or died.



So basically I am just wondering what has worked for you!!



Thanks again

Bob
