fussy feeders

[zobo]

hi,
last time I bred some young they all seemed to eat first go. I have bred 24 babies this season and so far I have been able to get 15 eating, but there remains a few stubborn ones. I have only tried thawed pink/fuzz mice. Other than trying day old rats, or live stuff any other tricks people wish to share???
Also what is a normal time limit, after hatching/shedding?? how long have people found some to take to get eating? My guys have only been out a few weeks, so I'm not too worried yet, but one or two still haven't shed.
thanks
j
