I have two snakes that have refused to eat for the past few months now. I recently switched them over to a rack setup so the temps, humidity, hides etc are perfect now. I tryed to feed last night after they have been in their new setups for about 4 days but they still refuse.

My question is: How should I go about presenting food to them. Should I just put the rats in their tubs and put them back in the racks? Dangle the food. Put the snake in a separate container to feed??

I have infact tryed every method but I am woried that I am stressing them out by trying to feed them in so many different ways and places.

Also, should I feed them when they are awake at night? If I put food in while they are in their hides they just stay in them and dont come out??? They show no interest in food at all. One of them will bite the food out of defense, the other just hides.

So, please let me know the best way to continue my feeding attemps so I dont go stressing out the snakes. Also, I find that alot of times they are in their hides even at night and I remove their hides to get their attention - should I not be doing this??

Thanks for any help you can give!
