I bought a one month old dum in early October. The breeder told me she was feeding on hopper mice. Three months after getting her home she still hasn't eaten once for me. I have never tried more than a week apart, and I have tried everything from hoppers, to f/t mice and pup rats. Have tried to leave prey in the snake's enclosure overnight with no luck. I even threw a live mouse in a couple times and stayed to monitor the situation and the snake will get face to face with it and just turn away and ignore it.

I have read numerous posts about dum's and their eating issues, so I'm not sure if I need to worry about it or just be patient. I have seen people who said they had a dum who didn't eat for 6-8 months or longer. Any suggestions?
