Need help with baby corn snake

[TheHabit]

i know this post probably shouldnt go here, but im putting it here becuase i know a lot of people read the BP section.
At my work (pet store) we have a very small corn snake, my guess is that its no more than 1-2 months old. It will not eat. On 2 seperate occasions we've tried feeding it f/t pinkies but it wont touch them. should we try a live pinky? I would hate to see it die
I'll be checking this thread when i come home on break in a few hours, any help is appreciated, thanks.

I would keep on trying with the F/T.
Are you feeding it in another cage?
Is the other cage heated?
Do you let your corn roam around a bit in the new feeding cage so it is used to where it is at?
Then do you let the thawed pinky on top to fill the cage with its smell to "prep" the feeding that way. Also I do know some pinks are pretty big try to find the smallest one ya can at first.

When was it last fed? how long have you had it? .. oh the questions.. ha ha..

Get yourself a deli cup, put the live mouse pinky into the cup, put snake into cup, and put in very SECURE quiet dark place. Return in an hour and hopefully the pinky is gone.

You can leave it over night as well, in the cup with the live pinky. Some snakes key into movement as well as scent.

If that doesn't work, you may want to try braining a pink.

Sometimes an hour just isn't enough time and some of them just never eat.

Good luck.

Try the live pinky in a deli cup over night. That works pretty much most of the time. If it still doesn't, let us know and we'll give some more feeding tips.

thx for all the feedback. not sure if my boss will let me try a live pinky (we only sell f/t) but i'll talk to her about it.
