hi all well got my 2 corns to eat the other night. they hadn't fed for a bit before i got them and thought i better get something in to them soon as i didn't want to have to go through a non feeding snake thing again. Offer one pinkie after being warmed by hair dyer. no problems there interest straight away and taken no problem. Tried same with other snake and nothing no interest at all if any thing the opposed and it retreated away. tried a few times heating it up still nothing.

then i remember my rabbits are molting at the minute. So went and took a pinch of rabbit fur. gave the pinkie a rub with it then wraped iit up with the fur in some kitchen role and gave a good blast of dyer. re offered to snake and interested immediately and pinkie was gone.

thank goodness for that great relief and so glad our house is a bit of a zoo. i have my choice of furries to sent with.
