heya,
ok my female Orange Ghost was only 675 grams when she started to refuse meals so since she was only 675 grams i started to get a bit nervous now after 4 weeks of not eating.
when i throw in a live rat of different sizes she just starts hissing if it gets close to her en making "spastic" movements when the rat comes close to her head (the whole thing makes it look like as if she is afraid of the rat).
so yesterday i threw in a mouse and within seconds she grabbed the mouse.... wich left me very confused, but i was like ok, lets thrown in a rat now as she probably is in feeding mode now and she did again start hissing at the rat and not eating it.
and now i am not sure what to do.
should i start offering her more mice or should i start playing the waiting game and just keep offering rats till she desides to take a rat again?
she has eaten 5 or 6 rats before she stopped eating.
is it still possible she is just on a fasting strike now she did take that mouse? or does the fact she took that mouse mean she just doesnt want to eat rats anymore?
please help me out
thanks,
Andrew
