How are the puffs being kept? Are they together, or in separate cages? What is the temperature and humidity? What substrate are they on? Do they have a hide box? Are they being misted? What type of cage are they in? Are they in a room where they are not often disturbed? Are there predators like Cats in the house? Do the people play Hip Hop or Rap Music? There is a lot more information you need to provide before someone can help you with your question. JohnZ

What kind of food have the puffs been offered? Rats, Mice, hoppers, pinks? What color was the mice? Black, brown, white? Were the mice alive or dead? Frozen and thawed or freshly killed? Was the food offered from forceps, or just dumped into the cage? Did they try leaving a scent trail for the puffs to follow? If you can provide more information on what you have tried so far, and the conditions the snakes are being kept, there are folks here who can offer a lot of good suggestions. Like Al said, with puffs, the problem is usually getting them to stop eating! JohnZ

i ended up buying these two puffs.i got the male to eat the next day after i set them up. the female has yet to eat, she was born with only one eye, i wonder if that has anything to do with it? she did crap today though. maybe she will eat now.

to anyone who might care , my male has eaten like a complete pig, he doubled in size over the past couple weeks. the female would not eat, i coaxed her into opening her mouth and i shoved a pinky in. i did this last night and this morning. hopefully she will know how great eating is and will do so voluntarily from now on.
