I purchased a pair of rubber boas about 2 weeks ago too. I was told to keep a flourescent light on them throughout the day to keep them eating. I put them in a smaller feeding container with the newborn pink (frozen thawed) and leave them overnight. They have eaten twice for me so far and are doing well and growing.

I do however have a western hognose about a year old that has gone off feed since September. He has lost some fat but is still in good shape so I keep trying to feed him ever other week.

Good luck with you little rubber boa. Mine have completely won my heart. I also keep spotted pythons and a western hognose among other critters.
