I would like to thank everyone that has given me tips and advice in my previous threads. As well as everyone that has given advice in the countless threads that i have read over the last month. I'm proud to say that Mittens has now eaten its first meal after a month of not eating (down to 80 grams) and dealing with an infection under its jaw (3 vet visits later). Hopefully I will be able to help someone one of these days as much as you have helped me. Never thought I would be so happy to see a snake kill a mouse.
