First Shed Question!

reptilicus81 May 29, 2008 02:42 PM

Hi! I had a litter born 5/9, and all but 3 have shed out...in fact the others shed out with in twelve days of birth. Two of the three (non-shedders) have eaten despite not shedding, but my little albino hasn't shed or eaten. She is much more hydrated (then she was after birth), and pretty active, but has no interest in feeding.

Is is odd that these guys didn't shed out? I have them either in pairs or singly, so it is fairly easy to monitor them.

I have had neos not eat their first meal for 3 months. Eventually they did (on live). If you are attempting F/T only, try live. If you're trying rats only, try mice. Mix it up.

Thanks...I've tried f/t and live mice of various sizes, but I will certainly have to try a rat pink!

Have a good one!
