Crushed babies?

[Bear-Cat]

a lot of babies will only start on live fish or worms..... takes time to work them onto chopped fish. those that are feeding on chopped fish should do well.... you should separate them from the others to monitor feeding. some babies will not make it, that's nature. it's called failure to thrive. I have had a few die, occasionally see one that has grabbed himself....I don't know why they do that either. they could be thin due to not eating...

I have heard that a lot of babies take to chopped up pinkies without bones. I was going to the petstore tomorrow to attempt that.
The majority of them are nice and thick, it could just be the frail ones in this batch that are having the failure to thrive..

In my personal opinion I think it's a little early to start them on chopped up pinks considering they are only a few weeks old. Try getting them to eat live feeder fish and/or chopped up nightcrawlers consistently and then in another month you can start mixing in the pinks.
