Yes,... Place a rat pup (large fuzzy, at an age where the eyes are not quite open yet but they are crawling around) in his cage overnight. Cover the cage and turn out the lights. A rat that age cannot hurt the snake. If this doesn't work duplicate the procedure with a little mouse pup. Sometimes young burms won't accept rats but will take mice. If neither of these things work get a newly hatched chick from a feed store and try that. If none of these things work consider buying a pinky pump for 30 dollars from Big Apple and force feed him until he takes food. Please seek professional help and assitance with any and all force feeding as if it is performed improperly the benefit is greatly outweighed by the stress and it can kill him.







>>Hey- nothing's working. He wasn't very big when I got him and now he's skinnier than ever. I've tried the turning off the light thing, but I think he fell asleep after about 5 minutes. Are there any other suggestions on how to get my new two footer to eat? Thanks.
