    Hello, got a baby corn!
    Try live. I had a corn who would only eat live until she was 50g.

    I tried live the first couple feedings, waiting on my mice to have a few new litters so I can try with them again

    Put the corn in a deli cup with the live pinkie overnight. That should do the trick

    Did that too my friend, tried a brown bag as well, tried a bloody one, tried braining, this Sunday which is the next feeding attemp, I will be lizard scenting with a Mediterranean gecko that keeps the crickets in my box turtles cage in check, hopefully that'll work, of if it doesn't take then ill just keep trying with brained, this morning I double checked temps just to make sure and the ambient air is 80, the hot spot was at 85, the cool side registered between 78 and 76 depending on what exact spot I measured, I've heard that some small babies will take little fish, so I'll probably try that too in his water dish, I figure if he doesn't eat it, my slider then can have it, if he does, at least he then would have eaten something!! So frustrating!! Lol, but once I get him going it'll be well worth it!

    You may have to consider assist feeding. Those small babies can't go very long without eating at that age. I had to put a baby down because he wouldn't eat. I tried everything (just like you) and I ended up putting him down when he wouldn't take even a force-fed pinky.

    Well I was going to try and feed him tomorrow night but I had a surprise litter of mice, so I'll try live again after work tonight, I think I'll try the brown bag again with this attempt, if he doesn't eat I'll probably then try assist feeding on Wednesday, wish me luck guys!!

    Should I still scent the pinkie with the lizard? That's the one thing I'm not sure on? I guess at this point it can't hurt either way...

    If you sent with a lizard, it should be an anole.
