Reptile & Amphibian Forums

I bought three hatchlings from the IRBA in Pomona. Two are eating fine and the third has yet to eat. It is 5 weeks old now and has not had a single meal. Yes, I have done EVERYTHING. I have spent hours on this forum every night for months and attempted every technique (braining, force feeding, darknes, etc). I will ONLY give up if it is the humane and sensible thing to do! So I ask you, the experts, how long can/should I wait?

hey.....i left a live pinkie in his tank for like 10 minutes and all the lights off and he still did not go for it....so what i did was i held the pinky with my fingers and i kinda "disturbed" my corn coz he would always strike at me....so let him strike at the pinky and quickly let go of it....he quickly ate it =)

(i'm not sure if that is called tease feeding)

live pinks can make worders. i feed two to my new corns who would not eat for a week. i hopw they won't get stuck to live but they used to eat frozen ones before
