What to feed my boy

[SCWood]

You could try that. I would just slowly work your way up in prey size. Maybe two weeks at one size, then move up and do a couple feeds at the next size up. Snakes go off feed for months at a time, and the fact that he is eating is a good sign.

I know 😄 I'm just happy that he eats something! What's funny is, I will find urates in his cage but no poo! I think next time I will try a small rat and see how it goes..

If there is no poop the prey size is way too small. It means his body is digesting everything it can to keep him alive. Move up to the next size and keep us updated!

You can put him back in his feeding tub and try one prey size up. Sounds to me like he is still hungry.

The only thing currently available is small rats or mice..I have f/t but I'd hate to thaw it and waste it.

Try a small rat. If that's all you've got its all you've got. And it won't be a waste if he doesn't eat it.

Like I said in the video, he has been wandering his cage for several hours now. I handled him for quite a bit and he seemed anxious so I put him up and usually he will just curl up in his house but not this time!

Okay 😁 it's storming right now but maybe tomorrow after work when it's nice and dark and late out he will take a rat...

Could I try one dipped in chicken broth? Is this safe? I wanted MouseMaker but I can't find anywhere to buy it!

I'm sure you could. I'm not sure if the fat in chicken broth is okay for snakes. But you could scent it with a live rat. It's kinda morbid but it works

I've tried braining before. Morbid doesn't bother me when it comes to my babies lol

You can even scent a small rat with a mouse if he takes mice better. They do have different scents.
