We have an 1800+ gram female. We got her on the 27th of February. Judging from E-mails from the breeder we got her from she had not eaten for 2 weeks prior to being shipped to us. She is a beautiful girl, but she has not eaten for us yet.

When she came in she had a minor RI. We took her to the Vet on the 28th of February and the vet gave us oral meds that she proceeded to spit up. So we took her back to the Vet on the 3rd of March at which time the vet gave her an injection, we stopped the oral meds and started her on daily injections for the RI. On the 10th of March we took her back to the vet and the vet believes the RI is cleared up. He did have some concern over the fact that she seems to have a little too much saliva, but he says it could be due to not eating for a while. So he wanted us to try and get her to eat between that date and her scheduled follow up on the 24th of March. We tried a medium rat on the 11th, then again on the 14th, and then again on the 17th, but did not eat on any of those days. Today we tried an ASF rat to see if she would take to filet mignot, still no eat. So we are trying something different by moving her out of the CB-70 tub and into a sweaterbox to see if it will make her feel more secure. We plan on trying again on the 22nd as we would like to give her a day or two to digest before transporting her to the Vet.

We prescent before feeding currently. She has peed a couple of times for us, but has not pooped yet!

Does anyone have any other ideas on how to get her to eat?
