When you say its set up, have you got the heating on and sorted? - As its much easier to do this before the snake goes in.
Have fun |

| Exploring, then you'll probably not see her for a while, perfectly normal. |

| I'd take it out and then try again when its dark, after 9 as they're nocturnal. If she still doesn't take it then you can leave it in overnight. If still no joy then try again in 5-7 days. |

| as above. and make sure you warm the food item up well before offering . giving it a good blast with a hair dyer i think works best. then hold it a couple of inches away from her and give it a bit of a wiggle. if she is interested. she will come to it and there will be a lot of tougue flicking. |

hi again,
right heated it up and offered her a rat pup and i also tryed a fluff mice....came up to both and that was it
then just went back in her hide, i just changed her to a 9l rub which is smaller than a faunarium, how long do i need to wait to offer her food again? also i have treated her for mites as i did not know where she came from...... |

| hiya hun, dont worry, just leave it another 5 days then try again,just offer one not both, we tend to get stressed more than they do. plus if you have just changed her from a rub to a faun, she is gonna need to settle in there. I had same prob with sheba, but be patient and she will eat when she is ready. :) |
