hey guys my name is Lydia. I got two ball pythons two weeks ago. I owned a Burmese for 18 years so I'm not stupid when it comes to snakes just when it comes to ball pythons. I'm having feeding issues. Neither ate while at the store just at the previous vendor. And when i got them home neither would eat so the beginning of last week I tried to feed them and no luck with fuzzys so I tried pinkies well I got one to eat one pinkie (though she should be eating at least two in my opinion or atleast one fuzzy) but the other would not eat so i took it to a friend who breeds bps and she assist fed her because she has lost 5 grams and was very dehydrated because she was so stressed. It came feeding time again today for the one who did eat on her own and i tried another fuzzie and she wouldnt go near it so i'm not sure what to do since she has eaten just try the pinkies again i'm jsut afraid she wont gain weight and grow if she is only eating a pinkie once a week (though i'm trying more often) I'm just at a loss here. I can't assist feed myself because I am not confident that i can do it properly. and I don't want to keep bugging my friend, any tips tricks that might help. oh and the one who did eat is not dehydrated so thats a good sign i guess.
also if there are any other things that maybe important to know about ball pythons please let me know
