I bought a trio of hatchlings a few weeks ago. According to the breeder they had all fed at least three times on pinkies. Since I bought them, two have refused to eat. The third has moved on to larger weaned ASF’s. I am running out of ideas with the two problem feeders…I’ve tried moving them to smaller tubs, covering their tubs, and leaving the pinkies in over-night. Each has their own tub and the temps are at a constant 90°, and I’m thinking force feeding is the next step. I've watched them a couple times when the pinkies are in the tubs with them and anytime the pinky touches the snakes they kinda flick their body to push the rodent away. I’m just worried because they are so small to begin with I don’t like them missing meals. Any ideas from anyone about what I can do to get them to eat?
Are you feeding them the exact thing the breeder was feeding them? If not thats the problem.You are also not giving them time to get stress free.To many feeding attempts or moving from tub to tub will make them stressed out
