    Feeding so aggravating

    Ive never had a problem with my female, shes has always been a very aggressive feeder, but my new super pastel has been aggravating me refusing to eat for 2 weeks. I know its not as bad as some peoples problems but its irritating he ate his first 2 meals fine now hes giving me issues.

    It's frustrating, I have 2 that are pretty much a 50/50 chance if they eat. My other two never skip a meal unless they are shedding. My boa eats every time like he hasn't been fed in a month, gobbles it. Such a huge difference lol.

    be patient. im in the same boat. some females can be pretty picky eaters. just be patient, when they are ready they will eat. just make sure she doent loose weight

    Re: Feeding so aggravating

    My normal female I have to be careful with cause she gets so excited during feeding, if I don't present her rat soon enough shes likely to strike at the nearest warm thing. Its always entertaining feeding her, I always think shes about to jump at me. Wish my new little guy would learn from her, I need him to gain some weight so I can breed him

    Mine has been on and off the last few months. He ate for the last two weeks and he looked hungry today, but he's just looking at the rat and crawling about. He's so finicky, but I love him.
