For the past months or so i am having to force feed one of my hatchling corns on pinkies 1 every 7days. Just lately have realised a change in her behaviour, normally when i open the tub lid she be stricking at me biting anything in site, however today she seems like she not the energy to move, last fed her 4days ago, Not sure what to do, Could anyone give some advice?
Have already tried these methods before force feeding:
braining
scenting with various of things such as tuna, chicken broth, toad scent, anole scent
placing in small cup with pinkie
choping pinkie head off
putting her in a dark place over night with all the above scenting methods.
Was gonna try live pinkies but cant get hold of any.

best thing to get her is some reptoboost for the time being, put it in her water and if neccessary give her a bath in it aswell - it helped my non feeder when she started to decline
where abouts are you based? someone might be able to recommend another shop to go to - my shop will look at any reptile whether it was bought there or not so it surprises me that your's won't
was the pinkie you fed her any different to ones fed in the past? and is she pooping ok? |

no not really pet shops here will only look at snakes purchased from there, as she is CB from me they wont help. temps are low to mid 80s at hot end, cool end mid to high 70s. she kept in a tub as i do with all my hatchlings. |

Well i dont think its the fact of her not eating? She ate 4 days ago, she maybe becoming tamer towards you?
