Wayne told me about a trick to getting babies to eat...he makes this stuff called Garter Goulash...you can make it like he does or do a variation on it. At the pet store...they should have something called Reptamin...they are little tiny sticks of food for turtles...now Wayne dices up pieces of fish and pinky and mixes it all together and then grounds up a couple of the reptamin sticks into a powder and mixes that in with it until you have a sort of mush...and feeds his babies with it. For my babies...I sometimes crush up the reptamin...just one or two of the little sticks, and mix it in with worms...or fish...or pinkies...chopped up into little tiny pieces. Garters seem to really love the taste of reptamin and it has vitamins in it. It works well for my picky eaters to get them started...I don't use it every feeding. Calcium powder turns off some of my snakes too. And as others have said, worms are good to start with...I mainly feed my babies worms...although they will eat fish and pinky too. Also...as others have said...some babies just don't make it. I have a very thin baby that I am desperately trying to get to eat...don't know if she will make it or not. She is pretty floppy and docile too.

Really sorry to hear about the little ones that you lost.
