    Re: feeding

    How long have you given her to settle in? Most of the time it takes at least a week to settle in.

    Re: feeding

    You just recieved that snake according to a previous post.

    Give her a week minimum to settle in and acclimate with no handling, then offer food.

    And yes, changes in environment is very stressful for a BP, especially a baby.

    A mouse pink is WAY too small for a BP, even the smallest baby.

    Unless she is brand new and on something less than a few feeds I would not be giving her rat pinks either.

    Newborns get week old rats.
