temps ?? if the temps are wrong they might not eat
What if anything did he eat from the person you brought it off ??
sounds like you are trying the right things .
I had a fussy feeder and used pilchards to scent pinks , now is eating very well , and no need for scenting any more .

We start our diamonds and carpets on hopper mice. The movement excites them.

Reubz, set him up in a ...you know those little containers that you get from the petshop it is like you put a goldfish in it???? It has a firm lid??? Put in the bottom of it kitchen paper (Handee towel) a water bowl and we just use a light box with a hole cut out of it for a hide.Put the container half on, half off a heat mat and the water bowl down the cool end.

The container is called a 'Pet Habitat' (BIG W and stores like that also sell them (and much cheaper than most pet stores)

or even a click clack container, around $5 you'd just have to put air holes in it.

prob not to small , but i keep my diamond and bredli hatchies in bigger than that , with about three diff hides a branch for climbing .
is it heated in any way ?
some will take longer to eat than others , one of my childrens took close to 3 months for first feed and she was fine .
why did you buy not feeding ???
if you dont know what your doing its not the best start .

I have the python on heat. I have a pet habitat so i'll put him in that.
(dickyknee) ->I have had a hatchling before that had never been fed and it started to feed after the third week or so. This python was a gift from a freind of mine.
