Little royal pythons don't eat

Royal pythons were born on September 20, 2019. Do not eat. What to do? The temperature was 28, now lowered to 25 degrees Celsius

Honestly something that hatch on september 20th should not even have been sold to you so it is IMPERATIVE that you do this to a T https://ball-pythons.net/forums/show...-hatchling-101

If the animal hatched on the 20th it had it's first shed at best on the 30th and might have had a meal on the 1st, an animal should only be sold well started with at least 5 meals in him, this one may not even have one so you are dealing with something that is not well started.

After hatching, pythons should shed, and then eat. If they hatched on September 20, then on October 1 they could not at all want to eat. They still have a yolk sac. They shed on October 1.

Which is what I said above COULD have had a meal on the first.

Now if you hatched them I will assume you have limited experience in getting hatchling started, and you still need to do what I linked above, hatchlings can start to eat anytime after their first shed from as soon as 24 hours after that first shed to 6 to 8 weeks after that first shed, depends on the animal. Right now all you can do is keep trying at least for the next 3 weeks with live mice and after that try live rats if it does not work.

Do not offer more than once a week.

If at 6 weeks they still have not eaten than it will be time to address the issue differently if they are kept optimally to start with and fed the right prey.
