I am having the exact same problem. My snake is only 3 months old, and I was wondering how long a baby can go without eating. She has eaten mice and rats in her lifetime so far, and has refused both from us. Is offering food every couple days too often? Should I give her more time between offerings? I, too, don't want to keep wasting money on FT if she's just being dumb and trying to starve herself to death. Any advice at this point...thanks!
