I've read that you have to be aggressive while feeding neonates, but what does that really mean? A video would be worth a million words here. Has anyone
captured any good video of 1st feeding trials? Arus specifically. Thank you in advance.

If at all possible try to see it done in person!
If you check out Kim B's site I think she still has a vid series up for viewing. Never mind I found it here is the link!

The baby in the video is 25% Aru-type. The videos aren't of first time trials but the idea is still the same. My technique changes a bit depending on the
baby's reaction and I don't always have patience for 37 mins worth of trying. You have to figure out what each baby's striking trigger is and that
may take a little trial and error. Are you working on feeding your first clutch?

Auston - Thank you for the compliments on my web site. A big overhaul is currently in the works thanks to my husband trying his hand at php. I hope it will
be up and running by mid-summer. I'm excited about it!

Thank you for the link, and thank you Kim, for sharing your experience. I have had very little success with feeding neonates. This is my third clutch, and to
date I have only produced 1 adult animal. I would like to do everything I can to turn the tides on my previous failure. The heartbreak is terrible. The
second clutch was the worst. I had trouble obtaining chick down, and when I finally did, I watched several babies die trying to swallow the pinks. No one ever
said that this would be easy! I would just like to say to everyone that contributes to this site, what a wonderful job you are all doing.
