Ball not eating.

[johnny5958]

I have a 3 month old ball that has not eaten in two weeks now. She has eaten f/t pinkies in the past but now won't take any or even attempt to strike.

Does anyone have any ideas of how I can get it to take a pinky?

Pinky what?

At this size your snake should be eating a larger prey, too small of a prey might not be recognize.

Also check your husbandry maker sure everything is optimum.

And in the mean time stop handling your animal until it resume feeding.

Bigger prey I start hatchlings on fuzzy rats

Increase the size of its feed..... Also, if you're feeding mice, switch to a similar sized rat, and vice versa....

Im not sure why you were told to stop handling her.

YOU NEED TO GIVE US EXACT DETAILS OF THE SETUP TEMP HUMIDITY 99.9 % of food refusal is husbandry related

Aside from husbandry, you might have to go with live for a bit to jumpstart the feeding again. I'm having to do what with one of mine. Not convenient sure, but she's eating which is the point. Do you have access to live prey?

She finally took a f/t fuzzy tonight. Two weeks since her last feed. I did move her hide above the heat pad. Since doing that she is much more happy and active.
