Feeding issues

[Stewart_Reptiles]

Correct temps and humidity do not mean much to me not knowing you or where you got your info from.

Can you give a general run down of your setup, enclosure size, temps, humidity, how big you hides are, type of thermometer used, how often you have been handling your BP, what type of food (including size) you have offered, how it has been offered. etc

I can tell you that for the majority of people that have feeding issue with snake so young are husbandry issues.

Have you contacted the breeder so HE can help you? Was the animal started?

Ideally and I always tell that to my customers who have issues getting their new snake to eat "you want to keep the animal as close possible to how they were kept before."

Here is what you can it's proven to work.

Get a 6 quarts tub, have a 1 inch layer of aspen (the aspen part is important as well) in the tub, use a 6 inches plastic flower pot saucer as a hide. Provide a hot spot of 86/88 (it's a small tub so don't go higher.

Wait a week (NO HANDLING, matter of fact no handling until your BP eats a few times for you) and offer a LIVE hopper mouse (drop the mouse in the tub and walk away, check back 15 min later)

If this does not work there are other methods but assisting is a last resort situation.
