We were having similar problems with our new male blood python. He refused the first meal with us. We changed his tub to provide him with more places to hide by changing him from newspaper to reptile bark and not handling him over the week. He again did not seem interested in eating. I ended up assisting him by opening his mouth and putting the head of the f/t rat in. He latched on and took the rest down by himself. I am really hoping that come feeding day this weekend that he will have figured it out and will be feeding on his own.

I hope you get your baby to start eating. I know how worrisome it can be when they don't eat.
