Seems like a trivial thing considering some of you guys have had severe feeding problems, but Pretzel has seemed really uninterested in her food recently. She just flicks the air around it, nudges it around a bit and then when I leave it for her, she just lays on it or takes FOREVER to eat it...

Well I left it a couple of days over her usual feeding day and then tried again AND I used a hairdryer to warm it up I saw a few people on here do that and I thought "why not" and gave it a try.

She struck it, and gulped it down in no time Fingers crossed she'll be just as good next week. I know it's silly but as she's my first and I love her to pieces it got me a bit over worried lol

Cheers Definitely is. Wasn't sure f it was thread worthy but hey ho, at least I can go to my Mums now and not fret about her over the weekend!

A topic is always thread worthy when the word "mum" is used....lol

Congrats on her eating.

I have noticed that my guys will just flick their tongue around it if it's not warm enough for them. Maybe give a little extra attention to the head of the f/t with a hairdryer.

Heat it certainly the key when feeding F/T. It helps get those tasty rat aroma molecules floating around!

Whoever I got the hairdryer idea from can have extra big virtual hugs.

After posting when my little girl ate her first meal, I've discovered that apparently balls eating is more than thread worthy. Grats on getting your girl to eat happily!
Also, I've used the hairdryer but discovered my beardie's heat lamp works great too (and you don't have to hang onto the rat to keep it from flying off the plate...) Just an idea you might try.
