Cornsnake Neo's not eating?
They didn't want f/t, which I expected, but none of them are touching the live mouse day-old pinks, either.
Any suggestions for getting them to show down? I don't particularly want to use my "Pinky Injector" tool on them. >.o
They finished shedding already, if that helps. |

Re: Cornsnake Neo's not eating?
I have JCP that hasn't eaten in almost 2 months after a case of mites. I'm starting play with the idea of a pinky injector too. |

Re: Cornsnake Neo's not eating?
Baby corns can be a little difficult to get started. One of my favorite tricks with baby corns is to take a brown paper lunch sack, stick the pinky in it and then stick the snake in it. Fold the top down and staple it. leave them alone for several hours. Most of the time the combination of being forced in close proximity with the prey item, the overwhelming scent of the prey item, and the fact that it is nice and dark and secure in there will stimulate them to eat.
You can do the same thing with a delicup, but you loose the "dark and secure" factor.

Do you think this little trick would work with a juvenile JCP? I gotta start getting creative here.
