    Corn going off food?
    I half suspect it's the change in weather. Anyways. I feed FT and she's always struck and eat them. I feed once a week and she refused last weeks meal and this weeks meal. Last weeks, she struck, constricted, started to eat it, then just left it. Today, she had no interest what so ever. I'm not overly worried since she's got good weight on her. I pulled her out of her tank a bit ago and looked her over. Looks great.

    I'm warming up the mouse again to see if she'll show some interest.

    Corns can go off feed as well...especially this time of year. I have a male that didn't eat for nearly 3 months, and now he eats again but I had to downsize him to FT rat PUPS. He was afraid of larger prey, even tho it wasn't moving. :rolleyes:

    So, as long as yours doesn't lose too much weight things should be alright. :)

    Mine eats adult mice, usually. I figure that I'll try again in ten days. I'm just happy that I breed my own and I'm not wasting money with her refusing.

    Well, I did some minor adjustments to her tank last week and offered her a pre-killed mouse. She just finished her meal. Next week, I'll try f/t again. If she refuses that, I'll try another pk. If she stubbornly refuses to eat ft and only wants pk, then so be it.
