Feeding Frustration

[mbl322]

Hey everyone

I have new hatchling corn that hasn't eaten a meal since i got her, It has been 15 days since she has ate. I have offered multiple frozen/thawed and she wanted nothing to do with them. Last night i offered a live pinkie and STILL NOTHING! I left the pinkie in over night and no interest.


What do I do?!?!

How long can a hatchling go without food before they starve to death?

I am getting concerned... :/

Was the hatchling feeding reliably before you bought it? Did it come with a feeding record?

that is a mistake i made when i purchased. I did not get this information. However the day I purchased him he eat. and the guy sold me F/T pinkie so I assume that is what he had prior.

I've never seen a shed. Is it possible he is going into shed? its been 2 weeks

On top of this section is a sticky labeled "Health Issues/Feeding Problems FAQ" read it and all your questions more than likely will be answered.

My hatchling went over two months without touching her food. It was so devastating to see her basically decompose while still living. Her scales / skin started to become wrinkly from losing so much weight. At first I tried feeding her every night with all of the feeding information I was obtaining. Eventually it turned into a weekly thing then an every-other-week thing. Finally one day she decided to eat and she's been fine ever since. I wish the best for you and don't give up trying!
