Getting concerned

what if you tried some small guppies?

seclude them, wrap the container with a shirt or something, make it feel like its alone.

I would combine these suggestions...put one snake in a small container, add a tiny bit of the fish water (not enough to cover the bottom of the container) with a few small guppies and cover the container with a cloth/towel. The small amount of water will cause the guppies to flop around more and hopefully get the snake's attention. Good luck.

In the tank..

As in, in a dish? Cause I would try offering it on a pair of tongs or hemostats. That way the food comes to them, and are more likely to snag it.

We only have access to large fancy guppies. I can't find or get ordered feeder guppies.

Try this but seclude them, wrap the container with a shirt or something, make it feel like its alone. Maybe its just really uncomfortable

That is how I did it, they were opaque containers, and I set them aside and left them alone for a while.

I have tried offering with the tongs, the just turn away.

Keep it in their face. If they turn, turn with them.

I'll keep at them. Hopefully they will take food soon. They were the biggest at birth, but now they look so small compared to the others.

[RedSidedSPR]

Well, keep trying it, but I can't see them eating willingly from a dish at this point.

SometimesYou gotta give them the food. I.E tongs.

Well I see a glimmer of hope for one of the non-eaters. It was flicking all over the worm plate today and sort of took a bite (of the plate). It's something new anyway. Hopefully soon. I have some friends slug catching around their flower beds, so as soon as I get those
I'll see if they will take those.

Good work Kat. I mean it. It's going about as well as can be hoped for even for us so-called "experts". Keep up the good work. Your babies look wonderful.

Thank you Richard. This has been a very rewarding, learning experience.
