My little guy is not feeding on his own. I was wondering if anybody knew any tricks to induce feeding. I am currently feeding pinky mice. I hate to force feed but will have to unless he eats by him/herself. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

now it's time to try scenting & braining: try brained pinks, wiping pinkie brains on live pinks, scent with chicks, frogs, small lizards, and even fish.
You can try putting the snake in a deli cup with a pink and leave it overnight.
I've gotta think something in this list would work before you need to assist feed...
good luck,
Steve
