Right, out of the three easterns I got, one is not interested in food at all. I must of had these guys a month now and one of the just doesn't seem to care. He is fairly active, although less lately. I've tried different food types and the only thing he has decided to eat was a tiny chunk of worm. Even then, when he had it in his mouth he didn't seem too impressed.I'm contemplating getting some small live fish but I'm not sure what's available in the UK.The other two are eating like kings/pigs.Any ideas on what I can try guys, or the best course of action to follow?

It could be because it's nearly autumn.My snake went of food for a bit at the end of Summer when it started to get colder but has now recently snapped out of it and is really hungry and eager to eat.I just continued to offer small amounts of food to see if he would take it also I found that a light spray will get mine into a feeding response.

I have the same problem with a couple of scrubs. I placed each one in a separate enclosure and leave food (fish/xtra-small pink) in a small dish with a little bit of water in it over night and by morning most of the food is gone. I plan to keep them isolated until they gain a little bit more size which will hopefully also give them some confidence and then return them to communal housing.
