just wondering

[kane]

hi i just got five baby snows and when i got them the guy said that he feed them live pinkies and i'm wonder how do i get them to eat frozen i been trying to eated them but they're just not eating

[Simon]

1) Try warming the pinky up with warm water
2) Flying Mousy...making it look like a live mouse
3) leaving the f/t pinky in a deli cup over night
4) Braining the f/t pinky
5) F/T pinky head

Lots of other options...just keep trying.

But of course some will NEVER switch to f/t mouse....but this is a small majority only...

Good Luck and Happy Herping!

How long has it been since you got them? Let them get used to their new surroundings for at least 4-5 days before trying to feed them.They may still be stressed from the move to new homes. Be patient.

try holding the snake and put the pinkie up to the snakes mouth eventually the snake will bite and hopefully eat it !! I've had to do this w/my to babies before it usally works

ok i got two to eat but the other three still are not eating i tryed puting the pinkie near they're mouths two grabed it but let it go i don't want to lose them becuase i traded them for two red tails

[Biggz69]

they let go after biting it ? Try "Braining" the pinkie first!!!

If that doesn't work i dunno what to say sorry

Good Luck , Biggz

Put the snakes in rubbermaid shoe boxes that have been drilled for air on both ends, put the mice in them to warm up on top of the fridge with the lids on, when they have warmed up and thawed, put the snake in there and put a book on top of the lid, turn the lights off in the room and come back to check on them periodically. It could take a little while, but this is the only way our milk snakes and our snow corn will eat. Be patient and make sure the book is heavy enough to hold the lid down *G*, they are major escape artists.
