It's always great when you have a hatchling that you really want to hold back, and that hatchling eats the first time it is offered food and has the best feeding response out of the whole clutch. :D

Congrats, great looking hog.
It's always nice when ANY of them feed on the first attempt.
It would be nice to see a complete body shot.

Hey Andy that was too easy. It's no fun without a challenge. LOL.
Last year I hatched 7 pink pastels and 3 of them ate unscented the first day out of the incubator. The other 4 ate within 3 days. Their mother was a voracious eater. I believe that trait can be passed on to their progeny.

Yes I also believe this to be true. Last year het to het albino and 95% were like the sire very hard to get to eat so I sold him as a picky feeder. This year my anaconda to my het female and every one of the offspring were like the adults, SHARKS right from the get go.

The best I have at the moment.

One of a female holdback, who is also eating...and also kinda red...but flighty and hard to get pics of!

Seems like a great feeding breeder produce offspring with a great feeding respond. Perhaps it is possible to eleminate the tricky feedingbehavior this way in some years?
So this is a real challenge for all of us
