I just got a 2 week old boa, and have tried pinky and adult mice, and pinky rats, f/k f/t and live, Any special tips I should try to get this little fellow to eat?? Thanks, Brian.

Maybe waiting a week until it settles in would help.

dude - just take a live mouse pinky, put the boa and pinky in a covered deli cup (holes of couse) or similar small container where one can't move away from the other. Put the container in a slighly warm, dark, quit place. If you come back to check soon, try not to disturb it or turn on lights. You shouldn't have a problem.
And good idea to make sure she's not going into shed first. lol

hahaha the rat wasn't even 8 hours old, and was already food. But thanks for the replies anyways, Brian
