Fast or Not!?!?!

[ssg150102]

Ok so, my BP is driving me insane! She WILL NOT EAT! So most of my BP have rejected a meal here and there. 4 of the 5 all went through a shed during the same week, none of them ate the week of, and none of them ate the week after. One eats like a champ every week. Attacks the mouse the moment i let it go! then I had two reject their meals two weeks in a row. I moved one to a tub in another room and shes eatten the last two meals no problem. The second one i waited another week to move because he was eating every other week anyway. After the third reject (which was last sunday) i moved him to a tub and to another room and he ate the first meal i fed him (which was last night).

i moved the 4th one, Aset, to a tub the same day, which was last monday. Handled her MAYBE two times, one time for sure because she crawled out when i opened her tub to change her water, i dont recall handling her anyother time. I fed her last night like the others and she rejected yet again. Shes lost some weight since ive had her which has been about 6 weeks i think, but shes been holding at 128 grams for a few weeks now. I went to a smaller mouse size last night since she lost weight. i'm going to let this go another week and then try live next week. i dont mind feeding my larger ones live, but i'm a little nervous about it for the smaller ones, including her.

but how do you determine if they are fasting or if there is an issue? and how long do you wait to find out?

She's quite small to go an extended period without food. 1st I'd double check husbandry. 2nd feed live.
