    Okay to move a BP that didn't Feed?
    Well My Pastel seems to like eating every other week as opposed to every week much to my dismay.

    I really wanted to clean her cage, change her substrate, and snap a couple of pics today but I worry that maybe it will stress her out to much and she will not eat again. Which I would really like to get some more meals in her. I wish I had scale.

    Any advice on moving a BP that didn't eat? Best to just leave them alone? I'm not handling her or anything but I like to do a full clean once a month.

    I would say do the clean. I would never stand for a dirty environment

    It's not that dirty, she seems to be saving up her presents for some grand display. And I change water daily. Still the substrate is about a month old.

    I'd really like to spray Chlorhexadine and wipe it down put in newspaper and such. Wednesday is the day I have the most time to do that stuff. I'd hate to put it off a week.

    Go ahead and clean her cage. She may not be eating for various reasons, but if it is stress then a few minutes outside of her cage won't affect her very much.

    Her husbandry is all right on atleast and she has three hides so I know it's not that. I'm just assuming stress.

    I saw in justin's last video he was feeding them rats so maybe she doesn't like mice? I mean she has been eating the hoppers okay. I just switched to the arctic small mice sunday....which look oddly similar to the hoppers I was feeding.


    I'll go ahead and do the clean then. Thanks guys.
