Clumsy baby

[guidofatherof5]

He ate a tiny piece of worm that had been in a dish with salmon and tilapia. I had to hold him and push it to his face to get him to eat, but he finally did. He's looking so skinny anymore. I'm scared to hold him sometimes. Anyways, after eating a piece he got to snuggle up to my hand and relax for a little bit.

Glad to hear he took in something.

So glad to hear he ate again for you! Sounds like salmon and tilapia does the trick for him. Now, hopefully he'll keep it up...

Tiny ate on his own today! I got some tiny live nightcrawlers in a glad container and scented them with salmon and he took one of the worms and a piece of salmon from my finger! He made short work of the worm and he's all nice and fat now! Hopefully he'll keep to it, I squealed with excitement when I saw him eating haha

Great news, Chantel.
Good job on trying some different things to get Tiny to eat.
Keep us posted and how about a photo?

Thanks! I also had a slug in there just in case he might want that, but he rejected it and Ember decided to eat it instead I might try gathering more slugs or snails if I can find them, all the little ones heads perked up when I had the slug in my hand. Next month we're going to get a little tank to put some guppies in, it seems like a good idea since tiny does seem to enjoy moving food. The worm he went for was moving around a lot.

Here's a picture of Tiny's stuffed belly!

Keep shoveling it in.

I let him eat as much as he wanted to, he rejected everything else. Luckily I have more baby night crawlers for feeding day on Tues.

I think Tiny has realized that food is absolutely delicious...

That's a happy looking snake
Keep up the good work, Chantel.

Indeed, he napped on one hand while I fed the others with my other hand. I'm so happy he's eating. I'd be crushed if I lost him, he's such a little love.
