Hatchling starving

[roger]

I have a late june hatchling that refuses to eat.She's obviously very tiny.I have tried assist feeding to no avail.Any suggestions?

Try taking a mealie and cutting it so some guts come out and using tongs hold right infront of the babies face, touching the guts to the babies nose a little so he/she licks it a little, usually the baby will suddenly realize that is food and chomp the mealie. This worked like a charm when I couldn't get my hatchlings to get interested in mealies.

Goo luck roger!

I hate to mention this...but there's a reason for the saying "survival of the fittest".

Have you tried multiple food items?

I really hope she pulls through for you Roger.

Try every feeder..
Make slurry.. try to dip a meal worm in the slurry and let them lick it off and often they will bite the mealworm
