Hi,

I just bought some new additions to my hobby two weeks ago and they still haven't eaten yet, I know they can go a long time without eating but I'm just making sure they will be okay...

When I bought them they were being fed live hopper mice, I figured I could easily switch them over to frozen which all of my other snakes are taking without any problem. Well, I have attempted to feed them two different times 7 days apart and they won't take them. My male pastel will strike at them from in his hide but won't coil and eat, my other 2 females show no interest.

Secondly I am having trouble finding live hoppers in my area. The only pet stores in Atlanta seem to be Petco and Petsmart!! Yikes!!

Any ideas? Should I just wait another week or 2 and then try again?

Thanks!
