Young voracious BP refuses to eat new Egyptian mice
Hello, Im quite new here and would appreciate some help and answers. Snake has 7 months, 300g, healthy... is with me for 2months, was eating like crazy, normal small mice, frozen thawed. I ordered an amount of 30g a piece Egyptian mice as I heard they are one of the best for BP. Also read its good to offer them different rodents so they don't imprint on one kind. At the moment I can't get any normal mice he ate before. Offered him Egyptian mouse last week and he ate it.. today is just not interested. I reheated it in water again, than a bit with a hairdryer. I tried in his encloser, in the tub where he usualy eats with no stress..cause I have forest bark in terarium, big chunks-got stuck in his mouth once, freaked out, so he eats in tub since than and eats fine, edacious little punk. Must get another substrate, I thought aspen shavings?
Anyway, today, striked at the new mouse but didn't even coil around it.. Now he sits in his warm house with a cold mouse infront of his nose and ignores for 1h. When to throw it away?? Ya he is soon going into shed, his eyes n skin are milky., but that didn't stop him before- he was realy so voracious at any time. His temps are fine, same as before. I heard snakes refuse to eat sometimes and nothing wrong with that but I think its due to different smell of mice...
Please, Can someone please suggest me in what way I can make him eat, how long can I keep it in his enclosure and how many times I can reheat it and refrigerate it again before throwing it away?
