I wanted to see how many of you have experienced this and what the outcome was......
I have a female BP that is almost 18 months old. She is weighing around 1700 grams and is quite healthy. She is not over weight nor under. I am not concerned if she skips a meal or two. My concern is that she has been eating f/t all her life until she went into ovulation back in February. She didn't eat for a month. After her she'd I offered again and got another refusal. The next week I offered a small live and she struck it right away. Since then she has only taken one f/t but will gladly take a live when offered. I don't want her to get stuck on live. I really like the f/t for her safety as well as my convenience. I don't want to keep live rats and have to tend to those daily and don't care to buy one every 10 days. Not to mention that I stress myself until I know she has safely constricted the rat and not bitten by it.
I know others have experienced this and my question is.........
How many of you have had success with them going back to strictly f/t or not???
Oh, same enclosure, temps, humidity, hides, etc.. The only change is she went through her first ovulation......and boy did she swell up for a few days!! She seems to be normal. Hiding during the day, coming out at night and early morning.
