    Didn't eat so...
    I have a normal female BP that is about 4 ish months old. When I first got her back in Sept it took her almost a month before she ate her first meal with me.

    Now she will ONLY eat if it's F/T or P/K, heated up with a hair dryer and then placed near her in her tank. After all that I have to turn off all the lights and leave her be for about an hour (which I don't mind as long as she eats).

    Feeding day is normally Sat/Sun but this weekend I left the food in there and she didn't eat it. Ever since Sat night she's been active a good chunk of the day and seems to be "looking" for something around her tank. Should I just wait until feeding time again this weekend or would it be alright if I try again 3 days later? I don't want to stress her out to the point that she doesn't eat again but she hasn't been this active in forever (husbandry is fine/no drastic changes).

    It really sucks that she refused to eat because she was even starting to strike the P/K in front of me now (something she didn't do at first) and it's like we've gone two steps back. =/

    I would wait until normal feeding day. That way you can stay on your schedule. 1 time missed isn't a big deal.

    Thanks :)

    I know it's not but I wasn't sure if to try again or not because she's alllll over the place lol
    I guess I will just be entertained by her antics until Sat night :P
