Righto, I know its early days yet but my hatchies arent eating. Im offering pinkies (all iv got thats small enough at the mo) tried the whole heat up and offer with tweezers thing and also the offer then drop and leave kind of method. They are both out and about quite a bit and show interest with flicking tongues and a bit of strike posturing but dont seem to actually want to take the plunge.
Unsure about how long to wait before assisting as its my first clutch, and would rather avoid it if you guys know any tricks?

Get a chick and defrost it then rub it onto the mouse. I did that last week with my female pin and she struck at it within seconds

I'd go live pinky rat before going on assist feed.

How old are these guys and how much do they weigh?
