Not eating.

So, Karma has been refusing food for going on about a month. I haven't handled her at all since she started refusing. I do feed in different enclosures, but I have tried to feed her in her enclosure and no luck. It doesn't look like she's losing any weight, so I'm not worrying that much about it. But how often should I offer food? My snakes do eat mice, they're cheaper than rats at my local pet store and they're both small enough that I don't have to feed them multiples yet.

Check your husbandry and make sure her temps and humidity are correct. If she's still small enough to be eating a mouse a week she should be a little garbage disposal.

This ^^ I can't feed my baby enough, he would eat every two days if I let him. I would check your husbandry. Also are you offering the same food as the breeder/person you got her from? How long have you had her? What is her encloser?

How long was she feeding before she started refusing? I have a 3 year old normal male who goes off-feed for 4-5 months beginning in the October-November timeframe, then resumes in late March like clockwork, and never misses a meal.
