Thanks very much for the response.
Our troubled little corn is eating on his own F/T and doing much better,some advise we got from another site seems to have done the trick , washing the F/T mice with Ivory soap and rinsing well,not sure what it does exactly but something is working.
He has a great little environment now to that he didn't have at the pet store and i'm sure that makes a huge difference.
Thanks again for everyone's help
: Don't worry to much about when your corn
: eats. my male in the winter time does not
: eat for over 2 months from the beging of
: December to the end of January but I give
: him 11 hrs of light and it is cooler in the
: basement he finally decided to start eating
: again on the 4th of Feb. and he ate two
: adult mice. corns will eat when they are
: hungary and if the y feel they are safe, and
: healthy. so check out their surroundings if
: young they might need a darker and quieter
: eating enviroment, if older, mist down their
: encloser 10 to 20 min. with hot to warm
: water before feeding, and if concerns are
: more check for mouth infections or other
: illnesses or injuries. Hope this helps. keep
: in touch.
