i have had my corny for 16 days now and he only eaten once in that time. i put food into viv 8 days after his last feed and left it in for 8 hours and he not taken the food. i removed the mouse and threw it away.can i re-freezethe mouse and should i leave it any longer or less than 8 hours before it starts to go off
Not a good idea to re-freeze, so best to throw away.
12hrs is probs max you can leave it. Is your snake due a shed? Could be why off its food. Failing that leave a pinky in there ad cover the viv/faun/rub with a towel so it's dark. He may be a shy feeder.
he was covered up with towel and not sure about a shed. he is 3 yrs old and i bought him off a friend of my wife . he is very active and looking healthy i just new to the snake keeping thing and just want to get things as right as i can for him
just to echo okeetee mick, i have a corn thats slighty younger and it was a good month to 6weeks before he ate, and also ive heard on here that some corns have gone months without food, so nothing really to be worried about ATM, leave him a copule of weeks and try and feed him then
ps. ive notice that mine are less "agressive" and slower when eating and ive just put that down to the weather, and ive decided instead of giving theres every week ive changed it to every 10-12 days... hope this helps
