Hi everyone i have had my first corn for just over a week now, he was due a feed today but didn't take the pinkie. I'm not panicing because i know they can go a while without eating. But i was just wondering what i should do now, shall i try again tomorrow or shall i wait another week b4 trying to feed him again

Glad to heard he chowed down! :)
Some will happily eat in blue, others won't, they're funny things like that! As for me, all 7 of the piglets here eat regardless of blue haha :)

ok, i'll wait untill the weekend then, Thanks for the advice everyone want to get things right for my new little snakey.

wait 3 or 4 days before trying again, you dont want to harass the snake with food offerings everyday

I was advised very recently that it's best to wait a few days inbetween offering food.

Falice Posted - 04/01/2012 : 21:40:44
i don't still have it but ill try that tomoro if he doesn't take it, he is supposed to have 2 small ones tho

If you still have the pinkie, leave it in with the snake on a piece of kitchen roll.

He could just be a shy feeder.
