Feeding Question

kksaito Dec 24, 2007 12:07 PM

Hello...I have a baby Indigo that won't take FT pinkies. I don't have a reliable supplier for live feeders and would like to know if there are any tricks that I can do to get it going on FT? I have a freezer full of them.

Thanks,

What was it feeding on when you acquired it? Things to try: leave pink with torn head overnight in a small enclosure snake can enter, scent with cornsnake, scent with fish, if pinks are small enough force feed. Good luck.
