On a serious note. I have two baby corns(born early this year). I have had them 3 weeks now. This was my third feed for them . first feed they both slammed two frozen oinks in their deli cups. 2nd feeding one ate and the other didnt(shed). Today one ate, and the other which shedded completely earlier this week(TueiWed?) didnt. I put them in a large plastic container(seperately) to eat. I just pick them up set them in. AM I doing this too quickly? I had a corn for 8 years that I lost this past Jan. I strictly fed it live and never had a probem with feeding except during sheding. I never got on the net to look up info on corns then either. After recieving two high end corns a few weeks back I feel like its all new to me. Frozen feeders sounded so weird to me(yes I thaw them).

Just to be clear, this is how it went?
First feed:
Snake 1: ate
Snake 2: ate
Second feed:
Snake 1: ate
Snake 2: didn't eat, shed
Third feed:
Snake 1: shed earlier in the week, didn't eat
Snake 2: ate
Since you've had them 3 weeks and this is the 3rd feeding, I'm assuming you feed them once a week, which is great. I wouldn't panic just yet, since it's not abnormal for them to refuse a feed every now and then, especially since they are new. It's a good sign they both have eaten at all, so just keep doing what you're doing. Do they each have their own cage or are they in the same one? If they are together, you really should get separate cages for them. If they are together, that can cause enough stress that they don't want to eat.

You should put them in a very small plastic container for feeding! And make sure the pinks are hot- 102F- and it doesn't hurt and does help to slit the backs/heads of the pinks, shallowly. And only try every five days- if one skips a meal, just wait till the next time. And feed in the evening. And don't hover over them when they are trying to eat.
