I am currently having a problem getting one of my LTC C.v.oreganus juveniles to eat. The previous owner had him feeding on thawed prekill. I have offered this as well as live fuzzies. He will eat none of this. In fact he refuses to even strike at anything.
My "mentor" has warned me to force feed an egg coated pinky as a LAST resort only. He says that it could stress the snake enough to possibly kill it. Are there any alternatives to this? He is losing weight and I'm worried about starvation or weakened state leading to repiratory infection, etc.
Any advice would be appreciated.
Thanks.
Vanyul
