Can't pass up such a slow pitch...be like mojo ignoring a mouse w/ its back turned....

:Sounds good. I figured since she refused pinks I'd try it, but I'll definitely use something smaller next time. I know someone who is working with 2 Spilotes babies that were regurging and also can only handle small meals, so we just keep going till it works!

:Freight:
::Well, shoot.

::If it's been a long time since it has eaten or if it has not eaten and it was born quite a while ago...they can be less able to digest anything but a small meal.

::I would wait at about 3 days...then try taking a live pinky, pinch it's tail to get it squirming around, and but it in the hide with the snake.

::If this works...give him only small meals for a few weeks before thinking of going back to fuzzies.

::good luck.
