    Feeding question
    Hi all I got a female and shes not eating, she will strike at it but just hit it with her nose. I have been trying to breed her, I know that it is a sign of building but she also has eye caps, is it possible she can see it? thanks all

    oh its been about 3 weeks since she ate last about 1 week since her last poop.

    Are you feeding live or frozen?

    If she is just doing some quick bites but not coiling then she is just saying stay away. It may be stress! It is possible that her sight is blurred by the eye caps. What are the details of your setup? Any pics?

    Also what weight is she at? My 600g female is currently on a feeding strike, and she did this the other week when I offered. They're defensive strikes.

    u could try throwin in a f/t and leave it there for a couple hours or even overnight, or just put it in the hide and leave it.

    Just kill the rat and leave it in there overnight, if she dont eat it throw it away.Or hold the rat with tongs and offer it that way
