Alittle help needed!!!

boafan1 Dec 17, 2006 11:34 AM

I just had my first litter of the year 8 days ago. Normally I use to raise mice to feed the babies and would feed live until about 3 months old.Then I would switch to frozen thawed which was allways 100% sucesfull.And now I dont breed any mice so I was wondering if anyone had any good ways of having babies eat frozen thawed from the get go. A few have shed and if they don't eat soon I'll just buy some live. But if anyone has any tricks I would appreiciate it. Thanks Daniel.

Just wait them out about 3 weeks after shed and then attempt the "first feed".
Forceing the issue only compounds as well as extends the issue.

Patience!
