i tried to feed milo on sunday (i brained the rat  and heated it up) and he still refused.
im not sure what to do now?, do i feed him next week and not handle him untill then?, do i feed him in a couple of days?, do i change from rats to adult mice? (the pet shop owner use to feed milo 1 medium rat every 7-8 days im not sure if the food is to big)
any advice or help please  |

Why are you feeding rats? Mice are best for corn snakes unless you are specifically fattening up a skinny snake.

just keep trying, week on week on the normal day. most importantly, dont panic, im sure Milo is fine and as herriot said, its perfectly normal for a snake to refuse. my biggest corn is shedding and is approaching the 3 week fast mark and is still perfectly healthy.
good luck!  |

Leave him until next week when he would normally be fed again. You could also leave him for the week without handling and go down a mouse size. Don't panic, they can go a long time without feeding! |
