    My girl finally ate!

    I've had her for a month and decided to try something bigger than a fuzzy to see if she would finally eat, and she took it in seconds! She also took the last fuzzy I had. One hungry girl! I feel a whole lot better too! Just had to share.

    Re: My girl finally ate!

    I went through that when my Cinny didn't eat for a month. I offered her a rat that I thought was too big for her because I didn't expect her to take it. She took it no problem and hasn't looked back since. What I was trying to feed her wasn't too small either! But whatever makes her happy

    I'm glad she ate for you. Even though it's not uncommon for them to refuse food, it's still stressful when they do.

    Yay for eating! I guess I'm lucky, the longest hunger strike any of my snakes has endured was maybe 3 weeks. And that was only because I really didn't want to go buy live food, but I eventually did anyway.

    My male pastel hasn't eaten since last year. Really frustrating. He still look healthy and currently weighs in at 740g

    Congrats! It's always such a relief when you see them strike and eat for the first time in weeks or months.

    Congrats! I have a girl pushing 900g that I think has just hit "the wall". I will be ecstatic once she's back on feed. I wanted to breed her this upcoming season!
