Checkered babies!

I forget how tiny they are!

i cut up the food, be it fish or pinkies and just left it in with them for 5-10 mins and they usually took it that way. covered them up with something too so it was a bit darker for their first feed. Worked for me

Yeah, that should work and it does for most snakes I keep, but I have a tiny albino male that still refuses to eat. I tried everything, and when I say everything, I mean everything. If this continues much longer he won't make it. He's already looking very thin and weak.

Sorry to hear you are having such a time with the baby, Richard.

[snakehill]

So sorry too!!!

[ConcinusMan]

Yeah, I don't think he's ever going to eat. I'll probably find him belly up soon.

[RedSidedSPR]

That sucks. What have you not tried?

[ConcinusMan]

Hot dogs and bubble gum.

[RedSidedSPR]

Worth a shot.

[ConcinusMan]

Well, this is probably why the babies from this litter are being given away for free. A baby garter snake that continuously refuses food is as good as dead. It's nearly to the point of skin folds now. I don't hold out much hope for this guy.

Some people force feed as a last resort, i'm not a fan of doing that though.
