I sold my best baby feeder to a local newbie only to have him return the animal to me 3 weeks later because he was scared of it. The little hatchy ate like a trooper for me. I didn't have to tease him, he just took it. But when I got him back he would not eat. I tried 6 weeks in a row, and he refused each time. I decided to try a live hopper mouse and he slammed it straight away. I was thinking OMG what has this guy done to my little snake. Tried following up with a thawed one, nope, wouldn't take it. Another 4 weeks on he was accepting the livies but refused freshly killed and thawed. Then all of a sudden come that 5th week he looked at the little mouse and turned away. I then tried thawed and he took it. Couldn't believe it and again I had him eating well. Thinking of keeping the little snake I didn't realise I hadn't changed my advert and someone wanted him so I let him go to Victoria. The new owner reckon he had to force feed him and when I contacted him probably 6 months ago he said the snake was doing well but was never a brilliant feeder. I was saddened by that thought, I should have kept that snake.
