My new babies have just shed for the first time and only a couple of them have eaten. What is the best way to get the rest of them to eat? Please let me know asap so that my babies will not starve.
Thank you,
Eric
 
I think the cornsnake manual has some tips for feeding picky hatchlings. You can hold them and tease them with the pinky until they strike. Then just hold still and see if they'll consume it. Braining a pinky, or using anole scent, or the saliva from a live anole works too I hear.
 
my snake went for 3months without eating when he was a few months old and had been picky before then but then we gave him a live pinky and he gobbled it right up, since then he has taken every pier´ce of food offered even after a 30hour journey from england to denmark!!
 
should have added normally he has frozen mice, bu that time it was a live pinky that got him eating again.
is your snake on frozen or live, well what are ou trying to give them?
