Ok i'll explain each snake and methods i've tried.
1. we have Casper. When i first got him he ate down two pinkies with no problem at all, after that he hasn't ate again, it's been a couple weeks now but nothing, i've tried braining, soaking in tuna, assist feeding and even putting him in a paper bag with live/thawed food, but nothing.
2. we have Bandit. He would not eat from the day we got him a few weeks back, wouldn't even look at thawed food but when we gave him a live pinkie he tried to eat it a couple times and then would let go of it and leave it alone. again i've tried the bag, braining, scenting etc...but nothing...
3. we have houdini, when we first got him a few weeks back he wouldn't eat either, we tried all the methods but no luck, we finally assist fed him and he ate it down with no problem and has since to eat another one.
I do not feel comfortable force feeding my snakes so i may have to take them down to be checked out. Does anyone have any other solutions that i can try? I'm about to try the fish oil method next...anyone have an objection to the fish oil method?
