Hello all. Some of you may remember that when I got my milk snake last year it took me 3 and a half months to get him feeding. When he did eventually eat he took a liking for rat pups, which I know aren't all that great for him long term. He's went into a little fast and missed his last two feeds. I'm sort of thinking that now might be a good time to switch him back on to mice. I've tried a few times with mice, and he's always flatly refused them. How on earth can I get him back on mice?
Many thanks,
Justin

Have you tried the 'jacket' method? Or a small rat pink and when that's nearly down stick the nose of the mouse in? Or flavour the mices with other stuff as well, rabbit, duck, hamster or similar can sometimes do it.
If you come up with a way then let me know. Sylar has not eaten a mouse for well over a year now and has even refused rat fuzzies for the last 4 months so I am beginning to get worried about him but also know that he is not losing weight so may well start eating again soon
