She Still Wont Eat.... !!!!

Ok so i tried feeding here again, this is the second week. at first she poked her head out of her hide and was looking for it... once i dropped it in she was still out looking for it, the rat ran up next to here and i think it scared her. So she went back in her hide and didnt come back out. Should i wait til later on tonight and see if she will eat. Im sure shes hungry. She looked like it when i first dropped the rat in with her.

i had a male that acted sooooo scared of rats. absolutely refused every feeding for a couple months. I then decided to try mice...i've never seen a more aggressive feeder. have you tried mice yet?

No i havent tried mice yet, she usually eats them with no problem. Its just been these past two weeks that she has been acting up.... Maybe i should go exchange it for a mouse.

any husbandry changes lately?

also, ya just gotta keep in mind bp's eat when they wanna eat sometimes.

No i havent really changed anything. Im thinking i may try a mouse. right now i set the rats holder on top of her cage and she poked her head out... she wants it but the rat is too agressive for her i think.

Should i be worried, or should i wait a lil longer til i get worried. its only been 2 weeks

2 weeks isnt too long but is she losing weight at all??

i have a female that has stopped feeding for over 3 months but her weight is about the same as when she decided to stop feeding.

if she isnt losing weight then there should be no need to worry about her.

2 weeks is nothing to worry about
