so, yesterday i asked a feeding qestion about my baby hoggs island boa hes not eating but becuse hes still in treatment . Any way my qestion is in the long run is it normal for baby boas to be finicky eaters or like some people say ''they eat like pigs". Again hes 6 months old eating rat pinkys and i got him exactly 2 weeks ago am i over reacting, will it stunt his growth. for more info see my answered qestion in the latest answered section. Thanks

He might be adjusting to his new environment if you have only had him for 2 weeks, I would not be concerned, give him a few more days he will come around.

see my response in your last question - he may need bigger food, he may prefer mice, etc. Each snake is different, so don't get to discouraged till you've tried a few new ideas. Most babies do eat like pigs, but each snake is an individual - don't forget that ;) If we had snakes that all fit the same mold, it would get pretty boring
