| your corn is 3 weeks old and a breeder let you have it? did he/she feed before you collected him/her? you should have got a feeding record of at least 4 feeds with the breeder, or at the very least a rough idea? |

not everyone keeps or supplies feeding records i am yet to get a snake with such records.
how long have you had the snake?
what is your set up like?
by the sounds of it you have offered him a few times. for 3 weeks old he should have really only eaten 3 or so times.
go through the entire time you have had him and we can see if we can help xx |

| ok, you need to up the hot end to 28. you are offering too often your gonna freak the little guy out. leave him atleast 5-7 days, only go in there to change his water, then try and maybe offer a pinky head, warm, but just pop it in and he should find it on his nightly tavels. how big is his viv/rub/tub? |

| i think they can last a little while, try a pinky head first and then you can try a fully pinky 5 days later. if he doesnt take this feed im sure other keepers will have advice x |

hope he's going to be alright? I didn't mean to be rude, I've just never heard of one so little being re-homed without 4 consecutive feeds, but sounds like he's in good hands now so try not to worry  |

| All my snakes eat frozen mice but I no I can get a live pinkie as a last resort I don't want 2 do this unless my snake is going 2 die I no a lot of people would b appalled by this but it would only b as a last resort , that's why I wanted 2 know how long it would survive on water alone |
