I got 2 balls on the 3rd and ive tried to feed a few times but not getting anywhere. I got them both from different breeders. They both told me they were feeding on hopper mice. Since i dont have a way to get live hoppers i have frozen, ive never had much problem switching my snakes from live to frozen assuming they breeder was using live. Ive had a boa, and corn snakes before... One of them i got to strike at one while i dangled it by his head but he wont accually take it, the other wont even look interested she just tries to go around it to another section of the tank. Puting them in a smaller container doesnt work, leaving it in there cage over night doesnt work. its been two weeks and im getting a little nervous.... ive read about force feeding but id really rather not try if theres any other way...
