A month ago I rescued a pair of hatchling champagnes from a bad situation. I was told that they had 4-5 meals, and were a month or so old. The female refused a live fuzzy mouse, and picky rat the first week but had no issue taking the f/t the three last weeks. The male how ever was a bit smaller then her to start with, probably 70g at most. He also refused both the live and frozen. Its now been a month-month and a half since his last meal. All his conditions are good, Ive had no issues with my other 21 snakes, just him.
My question is, when do I try to assist feed/force feed?
