I had a very small lav corn last year just like yours. I would assist feed it mouse tails until it grew enough to eat pinks. The mouse tails work real well. Just cut them off of a DEAD frozen mouse. Thaw them in warm water and just slide them down the snakes thoat with a gentle slow side to side twirly motion. Keeping the tail wet helps. Also slide them doen big end first (the end that was closet to the mouse's body.



I did this twice a week of 3 months and he finally started eating small pinks on his own and then took off ofter that!!



here is his pic next to a mouse tail. Obviously I didn't give him one this size..lol
