i bought a 2 month old burm.she ate about a week before i got her.she wouldnt eat the 1st week then she started a shed.she has been out of her shed for a week now and still wont eat.any help would be helpful.i know im prob being a worry wart but thats the way i am with all my animals.thanks

do you know if your burm was feeding on Frozen mice or live? Usually this doesnt make a big difference but I have 2 snakes that just wont go for the frozen food but jump right on a live ones.

i have tried both live and frozen thawed

I had a very similar problem when i first got my burm. He was as stubborn as a damn mule when it came to eating. All i can recommend is try different sizes and give him time to adjust bc mine took a good month before it began a good feeding cycle. He will eventually eat. If i remember correctly i placed a small hopper mouse(which is pretty harmless)in his cage and simply checked periodically to make sure nothing went wrong and eventually he chomped down on it within about an hour or two. Just needed some privacy i guess. So just dont give up hope. Ur little guy will munch hehe.
