I recieved a pair of black milks a few weeks ago (5-6 weeks old now). The male is a ravenous beast that eats everything in sight and is never satisfied. the female is a PITA and doesnt want to eat anything.

I've tried live, f/t, f/t wiggled with tweazers, f/t brained, f/t brained and left in a small container over night, f/t washed with odorless soap, and a bloody segment of a f/t rat tail... all result in zero interest.

I (think) i've done everything i can prior to looking at force feeding which i've done before and am comfortable with, but just want to see if anyone had any ideas prior to me going that route. the snake is still active and is plump so i still have a couple weeks to try and figure something out.
