how long?

[4riscorn]

So we have 4 hatclings that are almost 3 months old and have yet to eat and 2 that happen to be keepers that have only eaten 2 or 3 times.
Question is how long are they going to last? I am surprised they are still surviving. I don't know how they are doing it...

I do not think anybody can answer that question. It all depends on the snake and how it uses the resources in its body.

I had a hatchling go from June to September, but I began to force feed him once he got skinny. Force feeding tails will help them keep some weight on them. You can force feed pinkies, but I found that difficult and more stressful on the babies than a tail. The little baby I had started eating on his own after being force fed twice.

I will try pinkie tails to see if that starts them...thanks!
