Ok so I got a corn last week...so of course it's feeding time now. I have a seperate tank to feed it in. I put 2 pinkies in with it and it just keeps passing them up. The pinkies were frozen and I thawed them. I just didn't know if there was any special tactics to feeding...I would REALLY appriciate help. Thanks!

Try wiggling the pinks in front of the snake with some tweezers. If that doesnt work put the snake in a small deli cup with the pink and leave it in a dark place for a while or overnight. If that doesnt work you may have to try live pinks for a few feedings. Let us know if he eats.

OK! I did the wiggly method and it suceeded!! Thanks for the help. It are one of the two so I'm happy for tonite...maybe I'l try to give it the 2nd one on X-mas? Would it be ok to feed that soon? I might throw it away...dead baby mice in the freezer isn't too appetizing. Thanks for any responses!

Cool, glad to hear it ate. I just throw away the ones that dont get eaten. Christmas is fine to feed again. I feed mine once a week. Good luck.

Try feeding your corn live pinkies. They can't harm your snake.
