I'm posting this on behalf of my roommate who has a pair of Corns. The Corn in question is an extremely tiny little Butter, maybe 3 to 4 weeks old, purchased at a local reptile expo.
The little thing won't eat...and she's so very teeny. Someone attempted (with no success) to force or "tease-feed" her not long ago and I think that may have really freaked her out, BAD.
How long can a baby of her age/size go without food before we need to really worry about her? Any advice to jump-start her desire to eat? We've only offered her f/t...I suggested that if she doesn't eat by the middle of next week I'll get a live pinkie for her, but my roommate doesn't like the idea of feeding live.
I tried to take pictures to show her size but none actually came out. My awesome camera decided to suck at the worst possible moment.
Any thoughts? I'm more of a constrictor fellow, Corns are not my area of expertise.My roommate and I would greatly appreciate any advice anyone has to share.
