Lesser wouldnt eat, Paper trick worked.

[XGetSome]

I bought a Lesser 800 grams 2 months Ago, I couldnt get her to eat. I tried everything, Mice, Rats, Live, Prekilled, etc. A month went by and she finally ate some live mice. I bundled up a ton of newspaper and put it in her tub, and dumped a few mice in there. When I checked back she ate. This wasnt Ideal for me because i dont have constant supply of mice, but I breed rats. So a few weeks later I tried to get her on rats with no Luck. I cleaned her tub and puts lots of extra newspaper in her tub and balls of newspaper, put in a weaner rat and bam she ate again. I am very relieved, so if anyone has the problems Ive had, try the paper trick, its working for me.

I'll try this on one of my snakes. I've had her about 2 months and she doesn't even seem interested in eating. Thanks for sharing your story!

I don't understand the purpose of the newspaper balls?? is it for the snake to hide under?...I've never heard of this so can someone shed some light for me. thanks!

well Ive read it, ive seen it on forums months ago, and I never needed to try it. This girl ha me worried, I think mostly due to my impatience. I tried every trick in the book. Well smaller rats(weanlings) and the newspapers working....I wasnt sure if it was just the weanlings ....so i left a weanling in there almost a full day and she wouldnt touch it. When i add the paper she eats. I think its a security thing, Im gunna have to find a hide she likes....maybe thats it? but its working for now.

BTW Tim Thanks again for the Pinstripe and Black Pastel....you rock
