    My pastel wont eat

    I got a female pastel a little over 3 weeks ago and she hasnt eaten for me yet at all. When i got her she was in blue, then after she shed(a little over a week ago now) i tried to feed her. She was eating live fuzzies and or hoppers at the place i got her from. Ive tried live fuzzies, hoppers, and rat pinkies. Ive also tried F/T rat pinkies, and tried both putting the live or F/T food in her cage, as well as in a seperate container and moving her to it.

    I know its only 3 weeks, but shes a baby(only around 16" or so). Im starting to get a little worried.

    Anyone have any suggestions?

    Try putting the container with the mouse/rat on the enclosure for about a half hour before feeding. This should help stimulate a feeding response. Also try feeding at dusk. You might have to just leave the prey item in there for a while and leave. Some snakes don't like when you watch. Best of luck.
