Feeding

Krawf4 Aug 12, 2003 08:02 PM

I am having a little trouble feeding some of my new hatchlings. Two of them have eaten but the other four have refused for two days. Does anyone have any tips or tricks to stimulate them to eat? Any help will be good.

try "braining" them. cut a slit in the top of the mouse's head. The snake will really get a hold of the strong scent. If that doesn't work, cut off the mouse's entire head. This causes the same strong scent and makes the prey sizes smaller. If that doesn' work, let us know... there is way MORE you can do.
