This is my first clutch ever and I had thought I was doing everything right but now I'm not so sure. If anyone can give any suggestions, I sincerely appreciate it. I read the sticky here and have checked with some other guides but I'm still stumped. I'm in no way a new snake owner but this is my first clutch.
I have four babies that pipped on April 20th.
It took 5 days for all of them to emerge.
Baby #1 shed @8 days post hatching and ate an offered F/T pinky rat.
Baby #2 shed two days later and refused a F/T pinky rat.
Baby #3 shed one day later and refused a F/T pinky rat.
Baby #4 shed two days later and refused a F/T pinky rat.
April 30, I tried live pinky rats on the #2, #3 and #4 babies. All refused.
May 4th, I tried live fuzzy mice on Baby #1 which ate and Baby #3 which ate. Babies #2 and #4 refused.
May 6th, tried braining fuzzy mice and both Baby #2 and Baby #4 refused.
I have repeatedly tried to feed them (only attempted every 5-7 days) but I am getting seriously worried now. Isn't this an overly long time for newborns to go without food?
Temps and humidity are spot on, they are on paper towels and have a water bowl and crumpled paper towels in their tubs. These are some KILLER morph babies and I am beginning to get a bit freaked out about them not eating.
Thanks for any and all advice.
