I purchased 3 newborn Central Asian Sand Boas last week . They are just newborn and maybe 1 month olds only . They are really so small and tiny even I am wonder if they can swallow pinkies .



They guy who is working for the pet shop told me he has tried t fed vitellus to the newborn sand boas . He said he was just placed the vitellus on a plate and the newborn sand boas will "drink" the vitellus on the plate . I don't think that's a good way to feed the newborn sand boas vitellus as their diet .



I am now trying to feed the newborn sand boas pinkies , therefore , I can't make sure if all of the small sand boas will accept pinkies as their diet . If they don't accept pinkies , I am considering to force feeding the small sand boas baby food or some other diet instead by syringe .



I don't think that's is good idea to force feeding the newborns by syringe . Unfortunately , it seems to be the final choice if they do not accept pinkies in these 2 weeks .



I am now just considering if baby food (maybe mixed with vitamins for reptiles) will works for raise these tiny snakes or pinkies will be the only choice ?



Perhaps , maybe you can recommend some other good methods for solving this problem for me .



thanks.
