I had four atb babies born on Oct 15 and they shed about 4 or 5 days ago. I tried feeding last night and not a one of them ate. How long after their first shed do they usually eat. Any advise on getting them eating would be great.
Thanks

Keep them separate if your not and i'd just leave a live mouse pink in overnight...if they dont eat i'd try again in a few days

I am keeping them in seperate rubbermaid shoe boxes with pearches and water over about 25% of the bottom to keep the humidity up for them, there are vent holes drilled. Do you think I should paperbag them overnight next time I try to fed them? The attached photo is of one of the babies. He is the darkest orange and has the largest amount of black scales on him. the furthest end of the spectrum form him is peach in color with only about 10 black scales on the head.
