    feeding problem PLEASE HELP
    It's been three weeks since my bp has eaten. I know the are known to do this I just thought they are older when they do this. Mine is somewhere around 7-12 months old I think. Her weight is 161 g. Has no signs of mites, doesn't soak. Environment hasn't changed since she took the last time except for her regular bedding being changed. Doesn't sound like she has problems breathing. I am wrong about going off food this early? Or is a vet visit in order? She acts normal i would say. PLEASE HELP. I have tried all tricks to eat except for live. I would like it to be the last resort. Oh and is not in shed.

    When you say that you have tried "all tricks," are you implying that you are offering more than once per week to get her to eat? What have you tried? It's possible that the bedding could be throwing her off, but I'm no expert by any means. Please allow others to chime in as well

    Please describe your enclosure in details (size of the enclosure, temps, type of thermometer used to measure them, hides) etc

    What type and size of prey do you offer?

    How do you offer?

    Has this BP ever eat for you?

    How often do you handle your BP?

    Etc

    Sounds like you have a very little bp there. At that age she should be much bigger. Definitely too little to be off-feed. How has she been eating for you earlier, what size prey and how often are you feeding? Pics and details about the enclosure would be very helpful too. Sounds like there's something off with her.
