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 |

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. |

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

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 :) |
