Thanks! I love em! Yea I hope to have my guy at around 100 grams in a month. Also for the feeding do I just give one after the other?

Since you don't have anything bigger I guess you will have to feed them one after another. Once I start having to feed more than one a feeding I usually go up a prey size. Your baby should be able to handle a adult mouse.

Well took him out today to give him a feeding. He's been in his cool hide all day he actually figured it out last night. w00t! But now he shows NO interest in food. Took him out and put him in a little container and thawed the fuzzy in to sent it. Finshed thawing and danlged it in front of him and pushed it up to his nose but nothing. No tonge flick or anything he just curled more tightly into a ball???!!!

FEED in the enclosure. Removing the snake just to feed is enough to stress the out to not eat.

Well I'm going to try again tom or should I just wait til next wed again to feed?

Must wait 5-7 days between refusals before you offer food again.

Alright next wednesday it is. I just need more food for him thawed what I had and can't refreeze them. Oh well. Also I'm not touching him until he feeds on Wednesday maybe that will help out as well. He is uses his hides now though. So I'm happy for that.

Bump! New qeustion....

So today is feeding day for my ball, going to buy the mouse tonight. He has been in his hides ALL the time during the day with no help from me and roams at night for about a few hours then hides. Well I wake up this morn (earlier than normal) and he is chilling on the Accurite meter stareing at me. I'm like w/e it's earlier than normal so I put the sun glo light in and take out the red light so he know's it's day time and take off the blanket i put over the front part (so he knows it's night) so he now knows it day time. Well HE DOESN"T CARE, like at all. He has moved like twice since 7 am but mainly he stays near the hot hide but on the accurtie stuck on the wall. Is he just hungry?
It's been the week of Thanksgiving since he ate (for my breeder) and I haven't touched him since his first refusal on 12/3.

Edit: He's become a roamer now. Looks like he is trying to go into the forest background but the glass is there. lol
