So in case you haven't seen my other post I have a baby hoggie who isn't eating. It's been about a month and a half now. I took her to the vet a week and a half ago and he said she still looked healthy. He said to give her another two weeks before bringing her in for tube feeding. Her tube-feeding appointment is this Friday.

I was thinking about putting some chicken broth in a water bowl in her tank in the hope that she will drink it and 1) at least get some nutrients from the broth and 2) maybe getting any form of food into her will stimulate her to eat. I've got a lot of experience with aquatic turtles and I know some keepers will soak a sick turtle (especially delicate hatchlings) in chicken broth or some other vitamin/nutrient containing liquid so that they will drink it and get some nourishment.

Is there any reason this wouldn't work for a snake? Her regular water bowl would still be in there so she could choose whether or not to drink the broth.
