if he's struggling and i can help just let me know hun, i don't mind one boarding short-term while he's getting started 
we have various options for scenting - lizard, frog, gerbil etc and i'm used to dealing with non-feeders and assist/force feeding if that becomes necessary |

i've never heard of anyone scenting with marmite, but when you've got non-feeders hell you'll give anything a go!! lol |

it was recommended to me by a breeder I got some snakes from.. her friend swears by it..
how old are the hatchies.. some can go months (mine went for 7) without feeding on their own.. some have more yolky goodness from the egg to absorb and use than others |

it was posted on here a couple of days ago, not sure which thread. Dunno if it would work. Has he tried the usual bits i.e braining the mouse? Warming it up? Leaving it to snake and mouse in a smaller tub covered up? |
