I have an 04' female het albino that's been off her feed for over 6 months.

She's always been a little shy but has eaten FT rats right off the bottom of her tub since I got her back in 06. She went off her feed for about a month two winters ago, so initially I wasn't too worried when she stopped eating last December.

She ate twice in April, but the second time she regurgitated her rat. At that point my male started ignoring his rats as well, so I figured I must have had a batch of bad rats. I've since thrown them away and received a new order and my male has been pounding them enthusiastically, but the female still hasn't eaten. I've tried all the tricks that I used to get her eating last time but nothing has worked.

The only other thing I can think of to get her feeding response going is to try offering her a live mouse (all the live rats at my local pet store seem too large for her), but I've never fed her anything live so I'm a little hesitant.

Last week she shed and defecated and along with her regular looking feces there was some greenish gelatinous material which has gotten me even more concerned.

I'd greatly appreciate any suggestions you may have.
