    they rather have their food live and you dont know how long the pet shop had the pinky on ice. so jjust buy a few pinkys and put them in the tank with the snake and he will eat. but you have to feed the pinkys to keep them alive.so your snake will have some nice fresh food . good luck.

    Yes you should, but if he does not eat that, don't worry. Snakes often go off feed in the winter. I am not sure about corn snakes exactly but I know ball pythons can go for up to 2 years without eating. Simply continue to offer food until she eats.

    this depends on a few factors, is she gravid? (pregnant) is she cold are her temps right? has she been soaked? how is personality? there are many factors that contribute more info would be helpful at this point id leave the pinki with her put a towel or something over her and let it be for a few minutes and see if maybe she is being shy but dont let advise here replace a vet visit!
