Oh yeah, I have nothing against pinkie pumps, have used them too. Also have used syringes with a small rubber hose for feeding small babies like amaura with baby food. Tease feeding works good too. I find it pretty funny how inaccurate some baby snakes are at hitting the food target. Whatever keeps them alive till they start feeding on their own.

>>Yeah I use it as a last resort also. Tease feeding seems to work for me quite often with the hold outs, even when scenting didn't work, but I have seen some babies that were started with the pinky pump end up switching over and surpassing their litter mates which did eat. I think the use of it has gotten a very bad stigma, and it can be a great tool if used properly, and as a last resort.
