    What a picky pied

    This female drove me nuts for the past almost year with not wanting to eat. She would strike an coil and then leave it there no matter what i fed her. Live\ft still didnt matter. Today she finally took her first meal without hesitation.

    deff a great feeling to get her to eat. She was the only one who no matter what i did i even changed the hides an everything she would not eat. She seemed interested in eating tonight so i opened her tub an instantly she struck coiled an swallowed the rat down. Hopefully she continues this as i have a low white pied male for her next season.

    My Pied does the same thing. She's coil and then leave it... I figured out what worked for her. I' wiggle the rat after she coiled for quite some time, then cover her bin with a towel, turn off the light and do not enter the room for a few hours LOL.

    UGGGGGH Pieds and their picky eating!!

    My het. Pied female is such a picky brat. Will only eat live or fresh killed. SOMETIMES.

    Our het. Albino female would do the strike, "kill", and abort mission thing too. ALL THE FREAKING TIME. No idea why she stopped doing it, she got over her silly feeding habit and she's a monster now, going to drop eggs this season actually. I try not to let picky feeders stress me out; they'll change their minds eventually.
