Baby corn snake feed?
my baby corn snake will not eat the pinkies I feed her. I freeze them and consequently boil them on feeding day and put it in her feed tank and she refused to eat. I've tried for yesteryear three days. On the second day she picked at the leg and tried to rip it off but give up and ignored it after that. Are the pinkies too large for her? Is there besides I can cut the pinkie into a smaller portion? Or is there a smaller food option?
dont boil them ...just put them surrounded by a bag and defrost them in hot water
first of all don't boil the pinky newly let it defrost...boiling it cooks it and snakes generally don't like cooked food. moment of all don't try to feed your snake every day. even whether you snake doesn't eat on the day that you offer it food linger another week before trying to feed it again. wait four days and try feed the snake again if she doesn't eat then skulk for a week. but DO NOT boil the pinkies let them thaw out normally. a short time ago put them in a ziploc bag and let it dissolve out on the counter. to heat it up put the pinkie under a heating kerosene lamp for a minute.
and don't use a string to dangle the pinkie in front of your snake...once the snake starts eating there is no passageway to get teh string off of the pinkie and you don't want your snake ingesting the string.
Answers: I suggest, instead of boiling, simply tolerate it defrost in warm water, than tie one to a string and donate it slight action inside of you corn snake's habitat. I'm not a snake expert, so other sources might be a bit more helpful!
I think it is b/c they are not moving. Try getting those long tweezers expected for feeding and move the pinkie around in front untill it strikes at it.=)
If that does not work you might want to try live foods. I heard for drastically small snakes you can even use like large size crickets.
you can cut them..but do it while its frozen.. i ususally cut the legs and tail off just coz they are awkward for my python..sometimes if my fuzzies are TOO big them i cut them down the middle..
i defrost them in a cup full of hot water from the hit..just until they are soft...not boiling... then i feed it to him but picking it up beside the feeding tongs and dangeling it in front of him.
i have have him for a year and he hasnt refused feeding once.
