Freshly Born Pygmy Feeding?

[Nivniv]

I just obtained two baby pygs, shed once but never fed before. Neither eat the live [1 day old] baby mice I offer, even wrapped in tokay gecko molt, so I was looking for species specific feeding advice, I know the general snake advice but I'd be nice to have an alternative plan from a relative expert. From what I can tell both are healthy as can be... and I want to keep it that way! So your help will be very much appreciated, thanks.

:)HELLO AND WELCOME! What kind of pygmy snakes are we talking about?How long have you had them? How old are they? What are your temp and humidity? Do you have hides at the warm and cool end of the cage? Are they housed together? Sorry for all the qustion just need more info to help give you the right advice.:)

Duskys, a week, about 17 days, 75-80 daytime, low 70's at night, no hides, no warm end cool end, they're in 16 oz deli's [with 2 oz disposable water dishes] with a lamp on top of the cage [lockable 20 they're in [double caged]], no, they're housed separately. Until they eat, they're going to stay in the deli's I bought for them, later they'll get permanent enclosures once I've established they're stable feeders.

Thanks,

I just give them a week left totally alone. Then try feeding again. Outside of changing their water i just a leave them be until they eat. Also what are pygmy duskys? Never heard of them. Love to see some pics after you get them eating.
