Hi,
I got her 11 days ago and she is an 7 week old Lavender Het Pied BP. The breeder said that she was eating live pup rats so I tried frozen thawed as it is hard to get live rats where I live. I tried the first time after having her for 5 days and she didn't take it. I tried again 2 days later and she still wouldn't take it even after leaving it in her enclosure over night. I emailed the breeder and they said to try a live Hooper mice, but the only place that sells mice in my area it Petsmart/Petco and they only sell fancy mice, that were a bit larger. So I got the smallest one that they had and offered it to her last night but she didn't take it.
I have her in a Exo Terra 36x18x18 with 3 sides cover in a room all to herself. So I thought that I would try a 28qt tub to make her feel more secure and will try again tonight to get her to feed.
Temp is 90/85/80 and humidity is between 60to 65%
I wouldn't be that concerned if she was older but at only 7 weeks and her last meal was 15 days ago.
I have attached two photos of her.
Her eyes do look cloudy and I am hoping that she is going into shed and not sick. If she doesn't eat tomorrow I guess the only thing that I can do is take her to the Vet.
I know the hide looks too big for her but it is the only one that she will use. Never goes into the smaller one.
Any advice at this point would be great as I don't want to lose her.
