Axel Feeding Day!!

[AbsoluteApril]

Should I try to feed Axel now or later, he is out of his hide right now. Probably tonight, right?

I agree with the advise you were already given (re-quoted below), wait until next week for the normal feeding day

I'd wait and try again next Tuesday instead. As mentioned earlier, offering food again too soon/frequently after a food refusal could lead to more refusals.

Like the others have said, keep offering food every 7-10 days until he catches on. Snakes can go long periods without food but he will eat eventually.

His normal feeding day was Thursday at Petsmart, so I am thinking he is use to Thursdays.

Right but then you went and fed him Tuesday anyways, so stick to your Tuesday feedings. I get you are super excited about your new pet but please understand the advice you are being given - offering food too often can also be stressful and lead to refusals. Just be patient.

[Axel28]

I shouldn't have said that and I am really sorry, I appreciate the help and maybe I SHOULD STOP BEING snarky

it's okay; it happens. i think we all know what a worry-wart you are by now. that was nice of you to apologize to AbsoluteApril; it takes a big person to admit they were wrong.

take a deeeeep breath. you are doing a great job with Axel, and we are going to help you every step of the way.
