: Out of my clutch of mandarins, all but one fed on a live pinky after their first shed. The one non-feeder still hasn't fed, and one of those that fed initially hasn't eaten again. How do you guys get your stubborn mandarin hatchlings to feed?

: These babies hatched on 7/12 and have great body weight, so I'm not starting to panic yet. I've had occasional colubrid hatchlings not accetp their first meal for a month or two in the past.

Mike,
I have used deer mice pinkies in the past on suborn feeders in the pasted, it has worked a like a charm for me.
