    General rosy boa question

    I have 3 rosy boas. One adult male, one year old male, and a baby albino. The baby hasn't been a good eater for me at all since I got him. He was on live pinkies and I transferred him to frozen thawed. He only eats about 1 our of every 3 times I offer. He didn't seem interested in food even when I got him a live pinky and offered that. His heat is good, he has a hide, and water. He is active and he sheds. My yearling eats like a pig, all of my baby snakes do except this one. Should I worry? If so any ideas on how to get the wee one to eat?

    I wouldn't worry about him eating live until he's bigger. If he eats live, feed him live for now. He'll come around. Sometimes stunned or pre-killed are a better transition too.

    I'm not worried about what he eats, I'm just worried that he won't eat anything! I'm going to get some live pinkies at the next show and see if those work. I guess it can't hurt although last time he refused them.
