[reptilesrkool]

gday all just wondering how the big breeder get all there babies feeding as i breed olive`s this season and all is good the only proble ive got is sitting there feeding the 18 every week i don`t no how a big breeder could do this

I got it easy breeding mainly bredli, can feed 50 of them in 20 mins. Just lift the corner of each lid, dangle the fuzzy into the tub and wham, onto the next one. Bredli love their food and within a minute or two of my beginning to feed 90% of them will come to the front of the tub to impatiently wait for their turn. Any that don't get a little knock at the door (tap the tub with my finger) i then move onto the next 1 or 2 and by that time you can almost guarantee the one i skipped will have come out of resting and will be ready to go too.

Experience You would stress yourself out if you were a novice & tried to maintain a large hatchling regime. Im still seeing a shrink lol.
I can now feed approx 150 - 200 hatchies in about 45 mins. I try to do this twice a week. The key is not to panic if they do not feed straight away.
Also, try drop feeding. Drop the pinky in the tub and leave over night. If still there in the morning then remove.

most are feeding fine apart from the asist feeders and the sented it`s just having to sit there still untill ur given the chance to move o each snake

The first few feeds usually take the longest. My advice is to give the rodent a little shake when they strike so that they throw a few coils around it. Then close the tub holding onto the rodent til the last second. Hopefully this will keep the snake distracted whilst the tub is beimg pushed back into its place. Then perhaps try a tub at the other end of the rack so as not to disturb the previous.
