10 day mark of baby not eating.

Congrats on the eating! No luck in my corner...

I see the deli cup recommendation a lot. Does anyone have issues with the deli cup stressing their hatchlings out? Mine never seems happy to go in and struggles to resist. Once he's in, he's immediately pushing the lid to get out and giving me "puppy snake eyes" to let him out. Ok, that last bit is sentimentality speaking, but still.

I tried putting him in larger feeding tubs/boxes, and so far he's been happy to go in, but then only interested in trying to escape. I tried putting in a hide, putting the pinky in/next to/out of the hide, but he's only using the hide as a ladder to fall off of. ><

I mean, not to derail, but the deli cup question is on topic I think. He was such a good eater too before the shed and regurge. Maybe he's put off by the fact of the pinky being cut up?

that's why you cover up the top of the deli cup so he can't see out and then walk away for an hour. Once they figure out that they get to eat in the deli cup, they have the pink in their mouths before you can even set the deli down sometimes! It usually only takes one to three times of eating covered before they don't care any more.
