 Feeding habits

Most Ribbons don’t take easily to pinkies but some people have had good luck with getting their Ribbon to feed on pinkies. If scenting the pinky like fish does not work there is another thing you could try which is called "braining". Cut part of the pinkies head open to get the smell of the pinky out more and it could get your snake more interested. It may not work but it is worth a try.
