I know this is a bit odd but I'm so pleased that my baby corn has eaten! I tried the day I git him and he was having none of it and last night he was refusing it, so I was on this forum and read a bit about leaving it in the hide and it worked. The hides are butter tubs with a hole in them, so I turned it upside down, left the pinky in and checked this morning and there was no pinky anywhere so I am assuming he's ate it. Yeah, If only Ralph my Royal Python was as easy to feed!

Last night I took the substrate out and left only newspaper on the bottom with a hide on each side and the water bowl in the middle, just so he has less to be distracted by. I didn't know they buried their food though. That's good to know, thanks.

| it's actually my Royal python that buried his mice when he doesn't want to eat, never known a corn do it but it's worth checking just in case! |

I have not heard of a Royal burying their food, it makes me giggle, i could imagine the look on my face if I found a rat in the substrate. LOL ! It's good to know thought, gives me something else to look out for. I may try the same technique with Ralph, putting the rat in the hide. It can be quite frustrating when they won't eat but he will get there!

| Fantastic work! Give yourself a pat on the back! Babies sometimes seem more challenging to get feeding than the adults. |
