| Well, alum hatched a month ago, she'd after a week but has continually refused to eat, I have tried annoying him with a pinkey, just putting a pinkey in with him overnight, raining and trying both methods, offered him just a tail ( which someone has had some success with locally) offered just a brained head of a pinkey and lastly have raised temps way higher than is normal and again attempted annoying and leaving for him to find. Starting to get desperate now, is there anything I can try before assisting him ? |

| They do like to test us :/I've got 3 that hatched at the beginning of august and have never eaten on their own, so I tube feed them for now. I also have two that only eat chick thighs, have you tried those? Get a frozen chick, grab the leg and pull up, you'll probably hear a pop and it will come off. Cut off the foot and leave to defrost. I feed them bone in, you can take it out easily enough when it's defrosted if you want. Whether or not you leave the feathers on is up to you. One of mine will eat it with feathers, one won't touch it until the skin is off. |
