He’s definitely exhibiting hunting behavior so I’m sure he’s hungry, tomorrow I’m going to try and feed then update. I’m going to pinch the nose like you said and if that does not work I’ll place them in a bowl together. That made me laugh out loudOriginally Posted by Bogertophis
BTW, I ended up giving another pinky (f/t) to Milagro last night...I go by activity & appearance...she looked empty & was "looking for a meal". She's pretty shy yet
(about taking from tongs) so she took the pinky while in her cardboard tube...left just outside, she came out to sniff it & then dragged it inside to swallow under cover.
FYI- This is typical behavior for many hatchlings, in case your rosy refuses to take from tongs. This had been 4 days since her previous meal, which was well-digested,
& since she's so tiny there was no reason to make her wait. This is true no matter what kind of 'baby' snake you have. And yes, I "pinched" the nose of the pinky before
offering...it helped her find the right place to grab, though she ate one backwards previously...I was impressed! But it took her a long time, lol. This is basically just giving
a little help with your kid's homework.LOL
I can’t imagine watching a snake eat backwards.

This was only a pinky so finally they just folded in, but it was slow-going for such a little hatchling to finally get it swallowed. Silly sneks! They sometimes mistakenly choose to grab the part with the most scent, which tends to be the rodents tail.
