Food fight again -- locked mouths.. (sort of)

[RedSidedSPR]

Makes ya kinda paranoid.. I'm like "is his mouth closed all the way... It looks more open then normal... Oh wait.. Wrong snake"

[infernalis]

Easiest solution in the world... Feed each snake individually.

Even if I am feeding a hundred babies, they each get their own feed box.

Just keep a close eye on them, but if they let go immediately you're probably okay for now. It'd probably be a good idea to tong-feed from now on though like you said. IMO that's more fun anyways.

If they've got a mouth injury, you'll notice it. Even slight swelling makes a really obvious change in their facial expressions.

You should never, ever, give them the chance to do that.

We feed them separately now. That only happened once. They NW have good table manners. So we feed the pugets by themselves and then when they are done we feed the other 3.

If you don't see anything unusual from the outside within a day or two, they're probably OK. No need to look inside their mouths.

Your lucky, Kat. Mine have absolutely horrid manners. They love stealing each others food.

[katach]

I think because they have different tastes in food they don't really care what the others are doing. Toothless and Cotton (our pugets) are piggies that eat anything so they get a little aggressive at food time.

[kibakiba]

All of mine will eat absolutely anything that I give them. And, for ones that don't really like what I offer.... I pull a little "Well, no food for you, then!" and eventually they get jealous and take it

[katach]

We do that with our human kids. You don't like what's for dinner then you can go hungry until next time we eat. They stopped the picky thing real quick. I am not a restaurant!
