Hi everyone!
I've been trying to put off posting for as long as I could, hoping this girl would eat for me, but no luck!
My 2011 F Bumblebee het Hypo has been off food since December 11, 2012. After that last feeding (after she defecated) she was 738 grams empty.
As of last night, she is sitting at 650 grams. I have been offering her both live and f/t rats and f/t mice, no luckI know this isn't a terrible long time to be off food and she hasn't lost all that much weight, but what worries me is that she looks obviously thinner, even though she has only lost around 100 grams. Her spine is starting to protrude a little, which is worrying me. I've had a male go off food for about 6 months but he only lost around 30 grams and didn't look as skinny as this girl does now.
The only thing I can think of that would have caused her to go off food was that the last meal she took for me was a f/t small/med rat, which was a little bigger than what she had been taking before (f/t smalls). Any tips to get this girl eating for me again? I am thinking of trying a live mouse this week, but I just wanted to get some more input.
What can I do to get this girl to eat?
