I just got two c/b copperheads that are a month old, and I can't get them to eat. I have tried new-born mice pinkies several times now, with no luck. A couple of times one of them did open his mouth and try to eat one, but then he backed out.Does anyone have any advice for me,and should I be worried at this point.I have heard that neonate coppers are hard to get to eat for the first few times..

in the wild the babies feed on fish. try putting him in a small container with about a 1/2 inch of water. put a rock or something in there so the snake can get up out of the water and put a small fish in there. let is sit in a dark quite place for a couple hours.
