    They seem to be doing well but no one is eating yet or showing any interest.

    I just had a clutch. The female was angry and the male was regular. What should I expect the babies to turn in to.
    Thanks

    This is my first group also Mike. I have no idea. It's all new territory for me.

    Witnessed the first eating from these new scrubs. Knew some were eating but had never watched it.
    Today, I gave them some chicken scented night crawler chunks and I saw a couple scrubs eating.

    Don't worry. I have full confidence they will just all the sudden up and start pigging out. To get them started I usually just place a dish of minced fish and night crawlers in the enclosure and give them some space. You don't really have to worry about fights at first. They don't start that until 2nd to 4th feeding.

    I don't even bother trying until they're at least a week old and they often don't eat until they're 3-4 weeks old. That's pretty normal for them. That's why I didn't start shipping any last year until they were 2 mos old. Many held out until they were 4 weeks old before they started eating.
