2.5 mth to 4 mth old not eating

[antoine]

I have a bel that is approximately 3 mths old. She weighs in at about 272 grams. I have been having no trouble feeding her f/t small to medium sized mouse a week since I got her. She went off of feed about 3 weeks ago. She has maintained weight since she stopped eating. I am wondering if I am feeding a prey item that is too big and it is causing her to not be as hungry? Or it is because it is getting cold here and we had our first frost last week? Her room stay 80 degress constantly. Humidity is 55% and her hot spot is 92 degress. Any info appreciated, thank you

I had that happen with a baby ball same age appx. The only thing that finally work was He was put in a dark card board box with a live small mouse and he ate ever since on Live and were on the F/T I've had luck with this, I found it needed to be dark and you can here when he wraps the mouse. Sometimes people feed to small of a mouse Im not saying you do just something to be aware of. Give this method a try and remember to peek and see whats going on in the box.
Sometimes the darn prey animal will bite your Ball and thats not a good thing.

Do you have a picture of your setup and your Baby if you do it would be great some times alot of eyes can spot things in Husbandry the 2 eyes miss.

Check your ambient temps too. I had a snake go off feed for 3 weeks because the temps dropped in the house.
