Hey everyone,
We just picked up our first two corns on the weekend (both are 6 weeks old), and have just had the first feeding attempt.
Little girl fed great, we put the defrosted pinkie (warmed up a little) in a cricket box and she went straight in and ate it.
When we came to doing the same thing for the little boy, he just wasn't interested. I thought perhaps the pinkie wasn't warm enough for him to be interested, so warmed it up again and we tried again, but he's just sat next to it, completely uninterested.
Do I give up for the evening and put him back in his tank, or should I put the cricket box with him and the pinkie in also, back in the tank? If I do that, will he be warm enough not being sat directly on the heat mat in his tank?
Hope the question makes sense
Thanks,
Em
