I had a litter sometime last month and ran into a few problems:

- six of them haven't eaten anything at all. I offer f/t fuzzies and they dont take. I have no ways of getting live since the pet sotres only carry adult mice. Any tips?

- one of the boas developed what seems to be an abscess(sp?). one one side of his face there is a noticible lump above his eye and his nostril. From the side, it looks like if he has rhino nose that protrudes well out of the normal. He also has what seems to be a prolapsed hemipenes(sp?). Any ideas or tips? Pictures below.

- another one of the boas, since the first day being born has a little scar on the top of his eye that i have been treating with nolvasan abd neosporin. Am I doing the right thing for him?

I appreciate any help as this is my first litter and I want to prevent and correct these errors on future litter. Thanks all!!

-Shawn
