Re: new babys
Hi Zigmund, and welcome to the forum.
 For now, just keep trying, they'll most likely eat once they're settled in. Keep us posted though.

Re: new babys
Congrat's on the new ones. I agree with the others advice. Leave them live fish in the water bowl, it usually gets their attention.

Re: new babys
Howdy and welcome Zigmund. Sounds like a lot of good advice so far. Do you have all three together? I know I had to seperate the good eaters from the bad, 'til I got them eating. The good eaters.....well ate REALLY well and kind of "bullied" the others from the food. I know others have had luck with keeping groups together, the others stimulating the non-eaters to eat, but seperating them definitely helped me. Good luck with them.

Re: new babys
if they are housed together be careful of "food fights" I have to separate all my babies when it's feeding time (with over 20 baby snakes it can be a real headache but it's needed)
