I posted a while back about my baby cornsnake who would not eat.
Thanks for all your responses.

I have so far gotten 2 mouse tails down him. I had to force them both, and he seems to have no feeding response. He is still hanging in, and still active, but tiny. He will not even try to swallow when I put the food item down into his throat. I have never had to deal with this. I have had to assist feed babies before, but they seemed to catch on after a while, and at least attempt to swallow the meal once it was in their mouths.

I am worried that he is so tiny and weak. Do you suppose there is a chance he will catch up and be OK? How long has it taken your difficult feeders to start eating on thier own? He is about 7 weeks old. I am trying to leave him comletely alone, except for feeding attempts.

Any thought appreciated.
Thanks.
