Believe it or not I once got a whole clutch to take small rosie red minnows. I now tease feed with mouse tails untill they grow large enough to take a small newborn mouse. Usually six to seven weeks. My belief is that if they never imprint on alternative foods they become more robust rodent feeders the rest of their lives. In any case temps aren't as hard to work with as their reputation implies.

wow! rosies! that's impressive!
I would be worried about parasites with red backs! I give my babies that wont take pinks mousetails soaked in egg yolk.
