I have a corn that hatched on June 5th, and another that hatched a couple of weeks prior. When I purchased them, the seller advised me that both ate on June 15th. I fed the older one 2 pinkies yesterday but the younger one wouldnt eat, he lunged at it but seems very scared, he is not as active as the older one. Should I be worried, or just try to feed him again maybe this weekend. I dont want to have to force feed him.

dont be worried yet, my corn wouldnt eat frozen pinks for weeks. then all of a sudden he ate one in the blink of an eye. if he still dosnt eat, try live pinks or try cutting the pink head open and squeeze out the brain cream.

Have you tried just leaving him in a deli cup with the pink? Often small babies feed better out of distractions. Just leave him alone with it for a few hours.
