Hi everyone! Now i know royals are known to have eating problems but my snake Jerry hasnt eat for around 9 months he has been back and forward to the vet and she has told us that he looks and feels really healthy so we werent to worry to much and just keep trying different methods, but thats easier said than done! We have tried leaving the mouse in the cage to see if he would eat it, peircing the mouses head, giving him the smallest mouse we could, putting him in a dark box with the mouse, taste bud inhansers (given by the vet), trying to annoy him into eating and also force feeding! We're running out of things to try. He is the most amazing snake you could imagine he has never bitten anyone (even after trying to force feed him and also getting injections at the vet!) He is a MUCH loved pet and we're scared of the worst. Any suggestions?
Thanks! |

Has he lost any weight? - If so, how much? What did he weigh and what does he now?
Any pictures of your setup, how are you heating it and controlling the temps?
Are you handling?
How often are you offering food?
What room is the snake in and what sort of activity levels are there in there (i.e. television, music, dancing, smoking etc)? |
