    Do any morphs tend to be pickier eaters than others???
    Just wondering... Do any morphs tend to be pickier eaters than others? I have a super pastel, around 3 to 4 months old and 123 grams. Temps, humidity, etc are spot on. I will offer food every week and then every few days or so after she refuses. She seems to only want to eat every 12 to 14 days. Thoughts?

    I don't know for sure but, my pinstripe won't eat unless it's perfectly dark and quite. If he sees any light or movement whatsoever he'll refuse his rat.

    I have a Jigsaw and a Lemon Blast that eat like they may never see a rat again. So I do not think Pin has any feeding issues.

    I have read that Spiders are very good eaters, but I have not heard of a morph that specifically has feeding issues.

    All of my spiders seem to be picky eaters.

    My pastel- will eat what ever I give him, will even eat in shed.

    My normal- she is a real PITA, mouser and it has to be a white female mouse. She is on a hunger strike now, and normally only eats 3 of 4 meals offered.

    My spider that came in last night pounded two mice right away so much for needing time to settle in.

    Yeah, I always offer day one. The only one that I did not was my Specter who in the middle of a shed in transport. She ate a couple days later no problem.

    I don't think there is any rhyme or reason based on my experience and reading a lot of what other people have to say. :)
