I've got some non-feeding hatchlings and they are almost 10 weeks old now. How long a corn snake hatchling can survive without eating?
Another odd tip is to pack them into escape-proof tubs, and drive them around for a while. For some reason, this sometimes stimulates them to take food.
This is a really good idea. I actually brumated some problem feeders & had a pretty good success rate with them coming out of brumation eating. Granted, mine had eaten a few meals, off & on, so a mini cooling would probably be best.How about cooling them down? I know this sounds weird but a few friends have been burmating there non-feeders(milksnakes only so far) for about 3-4 weeks (after trying everything) so far its worked in only a few(but may be worth a try) And you would have to have access to a cooler that you could regulate...Sometimes the little critters just dont make it. Good luck, fingers crossed for ya.
Can't remember who mentioned or what supplement they got injected by a vet to stimulate an appetite but perhaps a google search in that direction might pop something up.
