When was the Tinley shows ?

From the 09 babies I got this summer. Some took over a month before started eating. I kept giving them rats pups every week and some were resilient.

The ones who didn't eat were fed on live mice/rats. I also purchased others from the same breeders, and I was able to switch them to FT rats.

After a month, I fed them one time a little fuzzy, that I put in a hide (paper roll) in the night. One ate, the other not. The next week, I decided to offer a FT hopper mice the next week and they both took it.

I think you should be patient. Some take longer to settle in. If the meal is too small or too big, they might refuse it. A fuzzy (even a hopper mouse) is a bit small for a young ball python.
