| Sorry to hear that tilly, dont know about hatchlings really but might be worth you taking it back to the shop and get them to start it feeding. |

| a pinkie pump (i think) is for squirting mushed up pinkies straight into your snake. it sounds like youve tried all of the right things- how long have you been trying for? |

| Sorry to tell you this , but before i had tobasco , i had another corn called cassie who didn`t eat and she sadly died. But cassie was also showing other sighns of illness e.g - lack of growth , no shed , awake 24hrs , always infront of the heat. So unless he/she is showing any of them sighns keep trying. have you tried putting it in a chinease takeawaytube (or something like that) over night with the pinkie??? If that dont work take it back to the shop. |

Tilly i have got a few things you could try that i have heard work, not all together though lol.
1- Soak the pinkie in chicken stock
2- Dip the pinkie in tuna juice
3- Wash the pinkie to get rid of the scent when you take it out of the freezer then dip the head only in boiling water |

| hi tilly is your anery eating yet? we had an ex corn snake breeder in last night she nows breed burmese and and boas anyway we had 4 non eating anerys, sounds a bit drastic but it did work for us, she force one of the anerys a pinkie head with a pair of tweezers and he took it no problem and kept it down she also tried to force feed the others but they didnt take it anyway she then left the pinkies in the tub and covered with newspaper half hour later they all had eaten they must have got taste for it. was a two man job but it worked a treat. hope it eats soon |
