Update on "still not eating...losing weight" thread

After getting info here and speaking to my vet, I thought I'd give it one last try last night. I bought a small live mouse and dropped it in. She was on it right away. I'm so relieved. I guess she was just holding out on me. Thanks for all your help guys

That is some good news to hear. I wish my big girl Savannah would eat. Its been 3 months.

Andre,
Have you tried the newspaper trick? Ball up enough newspaper to pretty much fill her enclosure. Let her settle in for about a week, then drop a food item in. I've had several finicky eaters start eating using this trick.

mines also refused f/t and that's why i switched to live, a live mouse is hard to resist
