Baby corn snake won't eat?

Question

I bought a baby corn snake 3 weeks ago and she won't eat. I've tried feeding her in a small container, a brown paper bag, and even in her cage despite her aspen bedding. I've been feeding her frozen pinkies and, the last few times, I've brained them after thawing them. I'm planning on getting a live pinkie tomorrow to try and feed her, so I was wandering if anyone has any advice on how to feed her, should I just leave her in a small container, should I try wiggling it in front of her to see if she will take it? Any advice would be very useful and appreciated.

Answer 1

wiggle it front of her by the tail so she thinks its alive, if you switch to live mice you may not be ble to got back to frozen, make sure its warm also put in hot water to thaw

Answer 2

baby snakes can be fussy but corn snakes typically eat well. I had a baby corn a few years ago that did not eat for a few weeks but I put a live pinkie in there and it ate it down right away. Each snake has it's own personality. You may have to start w/ live and then slowly go to frozen. You can try wiggling the frozen as well or leave it in a small enclousure which is what i do w/ most of my small snakes. I wouldn't start worrying until it gets over four weeks.

Answer 3

Get rid of the aspen stuff and put on newspaper first.  Do not handle hour or 2 before attempting to feed.  The bedding is not good idea for numerous reasons and when you remove the snake from the bedding you are handling before feeding which is not good idea.  You can wiggle it in front of snake.  Check temperature in enclosure and ensure within normal range.  Try live as the smell may be stronger.  If no success freeze for another day.  Never re-freeze pinks.  Good luck~

Live should work. We had that problem too. They snatched up the live right away.

the live thing would be better make her think she is hunting but be sure it isnt big enough to bite her 0_0
