9 out of 10 babies from my clutch ate for the first time today! F/T!
There was a little bit of questioning whether or not some of them would, but when left alone for a little while, they chowed down like there was no tomorrow! Here's a couple pictures of babies doing what they do.

The normal was the first one to eat (and for a while, I thought he'd be the only one).

On their first feeding day, you're happy even if they do buttmunch like this ghost boy!

Thanks for looking!
 
Congrats, that is great news! My little ones had their second meal yesterday, and out of 12 I only have one non-eater in the bunch... refused both meals!

I love the butt-munching photo :)
 
Congrats Robbie!! Are you doing anything different to prepare the pinkies that is helping them eat? I have 5 out of my 20 born the same week as yours that are refusing.

Thanks! I thaw them all together (mice and rats), so they might have a bit of a different smell on them because of the rats. But other than that, nothing different. Just f/t put into a giant styrofoam cooler and heated using scalding hot water from the bath tub faucet.
Mom and dad have always been perfect feeders, though, so I was definitely hoping that was one of the things that got passed on to the babies.
