Hi,
our female ball layed 5 eggs, and all 5 have now hatched, and had their first shed (last week). However, none seem to be interested in eating. Does anyone have any tips on feeding baby ball pythons?

I offer a hopper mouse the day after they have shed. Most of my hatchling tag the little guy within the first 5 minutes of it being put in their box. If not I take it out and try again in a couple of days.
Sometimes a shy snake may need a small hide but usually they can't resist that furry little hopper runing around and jumping up and down. I start switching them to fuzzy/rats after their 3rd hopper mouse.
Good luck
