yeah if you get a pair of tweezers or preferably long tongues hold a warmish and brained pinkie by the tail and gently wiggle it infront of snakey but be careful not to hit him.. if hes hungry he will start to pay attention and become generally inquisitive and realise that mousie = food
hope hes feeds soon!

i wouldnt try again 4 another week. If you keep offering food like this , you gonna upset him more by messing around with hs feeding pattern. Then when it comes to feeding next week , DONT ...CHANGE...ANYTHING!!!!!!! Changing it even as simple as changing the mouse from been cool to warm , it might you in even more difficult.

REMEMBER DONT CHANGE ANYTHING WHATEVER U DO.

Agree with Meggi, if he doesnt taken then leave him for a week, only going into the viv to change the water and straighten substrate. If he is stressed he wont feed. I know its hard but when Kellog went on his 13 week fast we tried to feed him every 5 days and left him alone other than that. It worked in the end although it was stressful - for us! Let us know how it goes tonight. xxx
