about 80 percent of our Rhino babies feed on pinkies right away, while the other 20 are more of a hassle. we start with live pinkies, and we start in small shoebox cages with tight hidespots, a moist moss hide, and a water bowl. paper towel substrate for fresh hatchlings, nothing fancy.

we may end of forcing the stubborn animals with thawed pinks, but only after trying other choices- live, fresh killed, thawed, brained, night, day, teasing, etc.
