Force-feeding
A friend told me that force-feeding is the way to go with stubborn babies. What do you guys think?

I think that is pretty dumb. In my opinion fore-feeding is to keep a snake from death. PERSISTANCE is the way to go with stubborn eaters. I was worried about my little guy but I kept at it and now he's eating like a champ!!!!

Actually, I was very anxious about getting one so I made a hasty decision. I bought from a small breeder who didnt have pictures of the parents. He was only a few days old when I got him so I had to get him eating. He is now eating F/T pinkies. It was a hasty decision but he is a beautiful, healthy animal and he was only $200!

You thought that is a good deal. I paid $75 a snake at a show last month for captive born and bred Arus. They were so cheep because they breeder just had a kid and didn’t have the time to try to get them to eat. Both are eating and doing well. This is a picture of one of my joules.
