She ate another F/T pinky today. She went back to her normal mode of eating it, had to leave it outside of her hide for a few hours and not bother her, while she smelled it from end to end and decided whether it was edible or not.
That seems to be pretty typical of half or more of the babies I've had hatch, must be undisturbed, pinky left for a few hours outside of the hide and they will eat. After they've eaten consistently 5-15 times, then they decide food is a wonderful thing and completely change, will practically come shooting across the cage to take it out of the tongs.
She took hers like that last time, was in her favorite hide, I opened the lid and she stuck her head out with that AHS "got food???" look, saw it and shot half out from her hide to take it from the tongs. So she's at least getting there ...
