I have a young banana yellowbelly femaleball I got from from dynasty reptiles . I got her along with another banana pewter mojave female .
My banana yb is a picky eater and she’s was eating adult mice . I had issues with her eating at first because I used to try to dangle the mouse in front of her and get her attention to eat it , but that just scared her . I realized if I just left it in front of her hide she slowly make her way over to the mouse and then eat it . Once I figured her out I fed her for 4 weeks every five days . 5/17/18 was her last meal and I decided I was going to convert her over to eat pups along with the other female I got from dynasty . The other female had no issue she just took the rat pup no problem but Delilah will not even look at the rat pup . I tried the first meal by heating both a rat pup and a mouse in the same bag and then rubbed the two together and there was no response so I just decided to wait until her next meal to try again . I tried again and still nothing . All in all I have tried to feed her 4 times and she still hasn’t eaten . Now she is in shed and she is having a weird shed where her shed did t come off clean. I have her humidity at 60% as often as I can keep it there . I have her hot spot 85-90 and her cool spot at 75 she had multiple hides and always clean water .
*Her weight on 3/23/18 (258Grams) keep in mind I fed her on adult mouse 3/17/18
*Her weight today 4/2/18 (226 grams) I gave her a warm bath for about 30 mins yesterday with the wash cloth (temps not too hot and not too cold ). She still has residual shed on her ......
So my questions for you guys are these

Should I offer her a mouse today and try to get her weight back up before I try to get her on to rats ? Or should I keep with trying to switch her now ?

Should I wait till after this shed is all cleared up and the. Try to feed her a rat pup

Should I give her another bath today to try to get the rest of her shed off ?

Is there any other tricks you guys know or any shed easing products you guys use to help a problem shedder ?

Oh also I read u can scent the face of the pup with the mouses guts .... I tried it and it was disgusting but she still didn’t eat ..... I’ll include some pics thank you guys for any tips and help you can offer . I really appreciate it .
