Kinda diapointed
Well tonight was the first time my BP refused to eat for me. but i think i may have stressed her out to much earlier. I had her out for a little while this morning and i thought i heard her squeak a little. (not a wheeze but an actual squeak) not sure if it was her or not so i checked her for RI and she is all clear. But having her mouse opened manually is not something she is used to so it stressed her out a bit. I put her back and let her be. Tonight i went to feed her and she showed interest in the rat but never struck. Same routine all her husbandry has been good and she just shed not long ago. I did clean her cage a few days ago but everything was put back the same way it was. I don't think its anything to worry about yet but she hasn't given me a problem before. Should it be ok to try again on Wednesday or should I wait until next Sunday?

You could probably try again tomorrow.

Re: Kinda diapointed
It should be fine to try again on Wed. She's probably just a little stressed from today. FYI, they do sometimes go off feed for a while but at this point you have nothing to worry about.

Re: Kinda diapointed
My BP ALWAYS shows interest but never strikes. its so frustrating. I usually end up just setting it down and waiting for her to eat it the lazy way with no strike...

ahhh i see. thats probably a bit different then.
I dont like feeding live but yeah. What ever floats your boat.
Maybe shes just not hungry? Or you stressed her to much and shell eat in a day or two.
main thing is its not the end of the world, and this stuff happens all the time. (to me anyway...)

Re: Kinda diapointed
it happens, it comes with BP's. just keep offering on ur normal days or scheduled days and check ur husbandry and try not to stress her out. she will eat. mine go on and off, sometimes striking hard, or lazily eating, or i have to leave it in all night, or they dont take it at all. no need to worry yet
A room full of empty racks and thermostats that have been unplugged.
