feeding for 1st time

How many days after the first shed should i wait to feed for the first time ? only 1 out of 12 have eatten. and should i use live pinkies for the first meal?

Deforsted pinkies should be fine. Even with new hatchlings, live is a last resort. I offer food for the first time as soon as they shed.

How are you feeding?

i have them in deli containers when i feed them . i let the thawed pinkie stay in the container with them over nite. so far only 1 has eatten and the rest just sleep and rest on or around the pinkie. the mother and father are very good eaters so i assumed they might have that drive to eat

They probably still have enough yolk in their tummies that they aren't even hungry yet, they won't feed until they need to. Leave them a week and try again and try not to worry too much
