My little eastern who would not eat for me finally succumbed last night. The night before I force fed two small pieces of nightcrawler to him. Could I have done something wrong or was this inevitable? I have read that W/B Easterns are tough to get them eating. I bought a new tank and all the trimmings based on care sheets from hognose.com. Temps and humidity were within recomendations. He was drinking but no matter what was offered he had no intrest in eating. I tried pinkies, crickets, nightcrawlers, scenting and braining. I am very frustrated and saddened by this. Maybe keeping him was the wrong thing to do??? I thought I was doing something good because he was given to me by someone did not want him, who already had him for a week but the parents would not let their kids keep it. I tried. Thanks for all your help.
