Longest you've had a hatchling corn go with out eating

Well, About a week ago i had to force feed a hatchling corn a pinky leg. It is well over 4 months old and doesn't even look skinny, but I decided to force feed it to give it a few more weeks. It is actually about half the size of a normal hatchling corn, and has been that way since it was born.

Anways, i left it with a pinky mouse today and it ate

Glad he ate for you! We had a hatchling corn that we had to force feed mouse tails a couple of times to keep him going. He just all of a sudden started eating on his own and has never looked back. I guess he got tired of us messing with him and decided he better eat on his own!
Good luck with him!
