New Milky Won't Eat! =(

zombielove Jul 04, 2004 07:38 AM

I just got a Pueblan Milksnake. He's 1 1/2 years old and has been fed live mice previously. This is my first time feeding him. I want to feed him pre-killed for safety reasons. I have had a mouse in there for a day and a half now. I am taking it out today. Is he still nervous from the move, or is it the sudden change in live-to-dead food. Any suggestions on how to make a dead mouse seem just as exciting as a live one? Or is it just hopeless because he's been feed live ones for so long??

Thanks!

Scroll down through all the older threads, or do a search through them for "won't eat" or something like that. There's tons of helpful information on this message board.

also be sure it isnt blue. you might try feeding a live hopper to it. that should be too small to cause any harm.
