slow down.....
You just got naaza to eat two days ago, degie 4 days ago.
Why would you try to feed them again so soon?
They have been refusing food so you don't want to over do it.
Give them a little time.
I wouldn't try to feed either of them again for another week.

i fed again because (after looking through my notes on the snakes) before refusing to eat they had been moved to med rat fuzzies..... i have had a problem with naaza eating fuzzies....i had to feed him in intervals of 2 pinks, then a week later a fuzzy....... degei refused from what i saw from the notes over the fur also, so i put the rat pinks in with them to see if they would feed sooner than i had planned, if so then i would go back to the regular feeding schedule, which i am...
degei never ate til at least 6 days but i always fed every sunday
naaza would eat every 3 days if i let him, so from what i am guessing they will eat, so i will feed them again next sunday, which will now be well over a week.
i guess you could say i was checking to see if my assumption was right and i guess it was.
next sunday i will feed both of them a rat pink...
the following sunday i will feed another rat pink...
then try a sm fuzzy...
