11 babies eating 2 not

[lestat]

Have been feeding the babies every other day. Five didnt eat at first but soon got 11 to eat regulairy but two have not done so yet and it has now been 10 days since they were born. Keeping them seperatly as some one advised to as he found one of his babies hanging out of another. Any ideas. I have tried not to desturb them too much.

One of my baby garters didn't eat for the first 7 weeks of it's life. I tried everything (cut-up worms, cut-up fish, rosys, guppies, tiny frogs, tadpoles, etc.) I finally tried whiteclouds which are tiny fish, not even bite sized for a baby garter and he went after them like there was no tomorrow. I don't know if it was the size of the prey, but I do think that that was a factor along with them being alive. I hope your's doesn't hold out that long, I know what its like to feel like nothing is going to work. Good luck!

yeah - it's hard when that happens
mine held out for two weeks - or maybe I did
I just kept offering them other stuff when all they wanted was live little fishies
