Nics should be big enough to force feed a pink.Ive had ball pythons take pinks just by getting them started in there mouths.
I had a huge wc ball python as a first pet.She didnt eat for over a year.I was worried about force feeding and hurting her.
After several futile attemps I got mad and used a dang pencil to get a mouse down far enough so she couldnt spit it out.After I got the first mouse down I could gently force another down.It took months of doing it this way before she started eating on her own.If your more comfortable using tails use jumbo rat tails.There easy to slide in and put down.Put the fat end in first...Good luck...Paul
