Corn, King & Royals
I recently moved my Corn into a new bigger viv (some may remember the photos). Since he has gone in he hasnt eaten a thing. It must be nearly 2 months now. Maybe 3. Is there anything I can do.
On a plus side, he shed his skin this week, maybe he'll eat next time. Ill try him on a smaller than usual mouse, just so as its a bit easier and more welcoming for him.
What do you think?

P.S. Everything in the viv is fine, humidity, temperature etc....
 
sufficient hideouts?
You heat with bulbs that produce light 24/7?
both of these can induce stress
 
Where do you feed him? If you feed him in his viv, you may want to use the old one for feeding as the new viv may be too intimidating.
 
All my little ones that have vivs larger than they really need tend to stay in small parts of the viv. That's not necessarily a big problem IMO, they just seem to feel safer in places where they are sort of snuggled in.. That does make a problem for feeding though as they don't seem to feel comfortable with really exploring yet, even if they do seem to smell the mouse. I would put him in a smaller space like using a shoe box or pencil box sized sterilite with his mouse and then put that in his viv in his usual spot in the viv. Leave him overnight with the mouse and I'll bet it'll be gone in the morning. Don't hover over him waiting to eat, as that will defeat the purpose of making him feel secure.
