I was asked to post some of the tips Adamm gave me to get my wc's to eat.
ok...first off...KNOW YOUR BREEDER.
that was a mistake I won't make again.
I was uninformed that I had purchased 2 wc's...though when I got them I noticed a big difference in them compared to the others I have.
They were in QT forever since they wouldn't eat. But where I kept them I had dogs and kids pass by. Not too noisy but still...noise.
So that was my next tip....get them away from all noise.
I was also told to try crumpling up some newspaper in their tubs to make them feel more secure. I did have 2 identical hides in there but they seemed to like the newspaper better.
Then...6-7 months after I purchased them... I found 2 ticks on Shyanne.
I called Adamm and he told me to get PAM and treat their subtrate and tubs. I was also advised to treat all my other snakes enclosures just to be safe.
I picked the ticks off and in a week...they were looking better and moving around way more.
I moved them into my ballroom soon after. I was told to prescent the room for them and since I keep my rats in that room it is always scented.
I put a rat hopper in and Dottie took hers...I put one in Shyannes tub and she took hers!
Awesome post Memes! Thanks for sharing that with us!
thank you OH!

I was gonna say you are brave to go wild caught but now I see it wasn't planned that way.
The first BP I ever got was supposed to be CB and ended up with 2 ticks and mites. my Vet told me no way she is CB.
Great advice, know and trust your source.
thanks Raul...I got LG from Ian.
I would have never purchased the wc's if I would have known they were wc. The guy I got them from is a real douchebag for not telling me to begin with...but that's just how he rolls.
lesson learned for sure!
I am just happy that they are doing well now.

I'm sure you let that guy have it!
