Hi all,

I just got a baby cornsnake, i have it on a plastic box, and i give it GECKO, but seems that this baby ignore the GECKO,,i'm wondering could it be because the cage is too big for it?

so i want to know the ideal cage for a baby.

and should i put it on smaller one?
or should i wait for a couple of days? and see whether the baby eat the gecko or no, and then i move it to a smaller cage?

Sorry if my english is bad :(

thank you for the answers :wavey:

In the petshop before i buy it, they give it baby mouse (pinky) but seems that it ignores the baby mouse,,and from my calculation the baby mouse seems too big for it, i'm afraid it will pukes because of it :(

so do you think i should give it a baby mouse??

I would stick to a rodent diet. By feeding geckos or other small lizards, you may find your corn will not want to switch back to mice. Which will be a pain in the bum in the long run.

I would leave it to settle in a few more days then try. If it doesnt take it straight away just leave the pinky in the viv overnight.
 
If geckos are plentiful enough that you intend to use them as your main food source, you may run the risk of introducing parasites if you feed them live. You could freeze them and thaw before feeding to reduce the risk.
Most newly hatched corns can take a day-old pinky without trouble, or you could try offering just a head if your pinks are really too big?
 
First of all I'd give the snake a week, seven days, to settle in before trying to feed it. Then I would try the smallest pinky mouse you can find. I would put the snake in a very small container, with holes in it, just for feeding, and put it in a quiet place, even back in its cage, and leave it unsdisturbed until it eats, even overnight. I would feed it right at sunset.
