>>>>Followed your advice and separated snakelings into shoeboxes last week. I put them in a low traffic area. Put F/T pinkies in thier shoeboxes last night and found this morning that the Anery who had eaten last week also ate last night as did the Amel that had regurged last week. The other Amel has not eaten as of this morning. Should I leave the pink in there today for a while or pull it out now and try again tonight? Or leave it alone for a few days? Maybe I will try it brained next time. I had tried live originally with all of them and they showed no interest, but this was before thier first shed. What do you think? Thanks........

>>Well, good deal on the two that ate!

>>Now, for the third one...hmmm.

>>I would probably go ahead and remove the pinkie and freeze it for later.

>>You may think I am crazy but I would wait until next week to try again.

>>Try to keep them all on the same schedule.

>>Next week try live again. It is better to get them feeding on a consistent basis and then switch them over. At least if they start out as hesitant eaters.

>>Now, next week when you try again go ahead and poke a pinhole in the pinkies head and expose a little brain matter. Or use a razor blade and cut a small slit.

>>Once again leave them overnight and see if this works.

>>If it doesn't work next week then we can work from there.

>>Don't get too worried, yet. They can go a little while before needing to be forced/assist fed.

Get deli cups to feed them in, or small glad ware containers or soemthing similar.

Something that would make it impossible for the snake to know the food is there.
