Hatchling Bumble bee will not eat!!
Please Help,
I hatched 7 snakes in a clutch this year. 1 normal, 3 pastels, and 3 bumble bees. All are eating/doing great except for 1 bumble bee. It's not even interested in feeding. What can I do?

How many times have you offered food?
About 1 month old, not sure on the weight. I've offered food about 5 and left a pinkie rat in over night. All others are eating great.

You might want to try a live hopper mouse and supervise the feeding. Perhaps the movement will stimulate it.

Yeah man I try my best to get all the morphs started on rat pinks, so on that I give you credit, if they will start on rats its better fer em... Most of my babies that wont start on pink rats, start really well on hopper mice.... The rat pinks dont move enough for some of em once they get a strong feeding response try the rats again...if you are only a month in you are still good dont stress it, they will eat when they are ready.... most of the time....

He finally ate last night. I left a 2 day old rat pinkie in over night and this morning it was gone:banana::banana::banana:
Thanks to everyone for the input.
