Baby Feeding problem. Help......

bestballsaround Jul 06, 2005 10:51 PM

My baby's have shed a while ago and I have tried to feed them rat pinks and they don't show any interest in them. What can I do ? or What should I be feeding them?

Small fuzzy mice work for me.. 1st try them live and if the balls are scared stun or thump the fuzzy and then danglin it infront of him I have noticed ball pythons dont like to eat food straight in front of them, they like to raise there head a inch or 2 to feed. This is what I have noticed so I get the snakes interested then slowly pull it up and they useally follow the mouse and take them right out my finger tips.. I hope this helps keep up posted..
