My True Olive house snake,Ollivander finally fed for me this morning after over a month of refusing his feeds. 
I won't lie,I was getting really worried about the little guy as he was only 8 grams to start with and last week had gone down to 7 grams. You royal owners don't know how lucky you are lol! 
Popped a pink in with him last night,he went straight over to it which made me hopeful but when I checked this morning the pink was still there. Took my scales up to weigh him and as I picked the pink up his head popped out of one of his hides. Decided I had nowt to lose after this long so I wiggled it a bit and he struck and devoured it!
Won't be totally happy till I know he's kept it down and digested it,but oh my I really am so chuffed. Might treat myself to a drinky poos tonight! |

My hoggie hasn't eaten in 4 weeks. Usually it's the otehrside of Christmas that he chooses to be fussy. Next week when I offer him his food, I may soak it in tuna brine. That got him going last time.
Glad Olivander fed! He is a cute snake. |

Thanks everyone.
@ Figs - He's always been a great feeder (fed every 5-7 days for the first month I had him). I've only ever drop fed him as that was how he was fed by the breeder and he was always on his food before I put the lid back on. Then just suddenly stopped!
I'd not tried the pinky wiggling before as I was trying to keep everything the same,I'll be trying it next time though if he keeps this down.
Hope you're Hoggie starts feeding for you soon Emmy1. |
