I have been advised to feed warm. But i dont think there is a RIGHT and WRONG, if hes eating them.
How old is he? And how heavy? Im not an expert but shouldnt he be on more than 1 fuzzy every 7 days at his age?

really at that age he should be on something slightly bigger than fuzzies..two of my little uns are on fuzzies and they are just over 4months and 5months,
in theory there is no set right or wrong way how to feed them apart from the food being defrosted and being careful not to have any substrate ingested..
i heat my pinkies and mice up cause i go on the theory that if its warm then hopefully they will still think it is alive and show some natural instincts and either strike or constrict it  |

as long as they're defrosted it's fine, heating them up just makes them more palatable and helps the snake find them
all mine were on small mice at a year old though, 2 fuzzies isn't much.......... |

One of my snakes havent eaten for 7-8 weeks and as the result of that has died.
1) How do I dispose of the body
2) what is wrong with the other one?
The other one (Still alive) hasn't eaten for 3 weeks.
Can any one please tell me what to do?
I do not want another dead snake on my hands?
Thanks. |

I am so sorry about your snake Sean, it must have been an awful experience. To be able to help then a lot more info is needed, about the snake who died as well as the one you still have. Age, total viv set up especially temps, were they co-habiting, handling history, health issues, feeding history, what you tried to get them to feed.....anything else that you think might be relevant.
Once again, I am so sorry and I do hope the forum can help stop this from happening again.
