    I have a butter female like this! She is a bit big for her fb hatchling tub so I put her in a v35 tub all of last winter. She didn't eat but once for me the entire time, after trying and trying to get her to pick up feeding but she wasn't having any thing to do with it. I put her back in a fb hatching tub and she's slamming rats again, now my fb tubs are the solid plastic that you can't see through and my vision tubs are semi clear so I hope that will be the key, so I am going to get fbs equivalent to the v35 in the solid plastic and hope that works. But I would still try feeding yours maby just one offering every two weeks? If not maby a solid plastic tub like what fb offers may help.

    Many things could be impacting this, but, yes - tub size would be one of my first guesses if everything else stayed the same.

    She still has more time IMO in a 28 quart if she's 1400grams..my female is 1550 and in 28 quart and she's good..don't plan on moving her to 40q till about 2000

    Did you try offering her a hide? That can help them get started after a tub size change
