Pinkies were a hit!

[LucasBinx]

The crabs love the pinkies my snake hasn't been eating! They've had one every week for the past 3 weeks now... Darn snake hasn't eaten anything:/ Nothing to be worried about, just annoying. I would rather have the snake eat it then give it to the crabs, but it's better then throwing them out, I suppose.

Baby mice I think?

Yes, baby mice. From frozen mice. Don't have the heart to try live

Good to know!

Re getting your snake to eat: Have you tried dipping your pinkies into a dilute mixture of really hot water with a couple of drops of Ivory or blue Dawn dish soap?

Snakes sometimes just don't eat. I'm not too worried about it at the moment. I prepare them the exact way each time. The only thing I could think had changed was the temperature. It's kept by a window and we've had some weird weather lately

True. My 15 year old male corn snake is on his annual Spring hunger strike, which lasts 2-4 months, so I know the feeling! I was thinking maybe you had a hatchling and I know the soap trick has worked for many people. Dunno why.

I have a 5 month old corn. Not sure the gender yet. I looked into the soap trick and may give it a try next week. Or maybe I do just need to heat them up a little longer than I have been, too

I've only owned the snake for about a month now

I NEVER thought about that! Unfortunately mister old man huffy-face has no desire to give up any food (knock on wood!) I'm pretty sure a Medium Rat would be wayyyy to much meat for the crabs. anyway. I wish there was a way to buy them that wouldn't be $50, it's mostly the shipping that's killer.

The snake ended up passing suddenly, which probably explains why it wasn't eating. So no moee pinkys. I ended up adopting a year old corn who's eating small mice. Just a tad too big to give to the crabs
I could only imagine how it would look after they were done...
