Baby corn not eating

Hello,

For the first time I am having a lot of trouble feeding a baby corn. She is new (well at this point we have had her for a month and a half), but she hasn't eaten once since we have gotten her. I have eight other snakes, three adults and five juveniles, and she is the first one that I have consistently had problems getting to eat. She is also the smallest of all of our snakes. I am starting to become very worried, she seems to be very low on energy since when we first got her. I have tried to make her enclosure secluded with a good hide. For feeding itself I have tried cutting the lip and squishing the head a bit, and have tried leaving the mouse in the feeding tank with her for up to an hour, but still no luck. Any suggestions would be very welcome!
 
Look down in my private forum here for a list of feeding tricks. I would try boiled first.
 
Hi, thanks for replying. I saw some others suggest to look at your private forum, but I haven't really figured out how to find that - is it the one under your profile name? I looked there but couldn't figure out how to navigate it to find what I was looking for...
 
Nanci is the non feeder guru! I had 3 baby snakes that didn't eat for a full 2 months. Don't give up hope. Those little suckers can last quite a while. Just make sure they always have fresh water.
