Re: neonate feeding help!

Congrats! From the pictures, it looks like they are big enough to eat the smallest newborn pinky mice, if not, you will need to cut the heads off of small pinky mice. Once they shed for the first time, try to feed them shortly after lights out. They will likely need to be tease fed to start. Tapping their tail, and the neck just behind their head with the prey item is a good way to get them to bite. If they release after the bite, keep trying until they swallow it.
