I know there is alot of stuff around about ball python import hatchling feeding problems but I would like to hear any experiance people have had with them.

I was just given a pair of import hatchling Balls they seen to be in good health and both drank plunty when I put them in there new enclosure. They are a little thin and No body that has been in contact with them has known when theyve been fed or if they ever have. These were the trouble left overs of a 300 hatchling sell that I took on knowing they would be trouble. All the others took pinkies or fuzzys and where sold to pet stores. These just do not want anyting to do with food. I have left them overnight in a bag with pinkies and for a few hours with rat pups with no success. I finally left the rat pups in the cage for the last three days just on the hope they would wander on them and eat, to no sucess. These snakes do not even give a pinkie or rat pup a second look.They are not snappy or agresive at all. I do not know there exact age so I dont know how long to wait before I go drastic and force feed. The temps in the cage have been around 80-90 on the high side.
