Would you keep her?

Just send her to me:rolleyes::D
Frozen dont have as much of a smell to me and I would rather have mice because to me the rats stink

I have a pinstripe female that was a total pain in the butt to keep feeding and she was a hatchling so it was even more nerve racking. It took almost 2 months and her going down to 40 grams to get eating. Now she is an eating machine and I hope it stays that way. I would keep her, I think she looks great, but at the sametime I could see why you would want to sell her

Ignore my vote... if shes and 09 and only 500 grams I would sell her. I hate mice and I do have a few mousers. One is an 07 and just now hitting breeding weight. You might be better off selling her and getting an 2010 that is well started on rats. Plus when an adult eats mice you need to feed 5 at a clip and that can take quite a while. Just my :twocents:

I see my bp's change there menu often, so if you choose to get rid of her you can't get a bp anymore because thats what bp's do ;)

I have them changing from rat to mice to hamster to rat again, they just like a change of menu now and than.

I have ran into that with a few of my females. They will eventually switch back to rats. I had a female refuse a rat for 3 months. I threw 1 ASF in there and she grabbed it in about 3 seconds. The very next week I put a rat in. She has not refused a rat since.

I have a normal female that got to .1000 grams on rats, got bit by one, and. Now only feeds on mice. The switch was 6months ago.

She now weighs 2100 grams and is gravid. She eats 6 once a week and never refuses the easy meal.
Its a good decision to keep the mojo, shes worth the outcome

Balls are always problem feeders. Well not all. But a good amount

I've done the same thing with about a half dozen BP's over the last couple of seasons and its worked everytime......:gj:

I would keep her. If you want to breed her, you already have a head start. Sometimes when females get to the 500 gr mark they go off food for a while. I wouldn't worry to much. Try frozen thawed, if she prefers mice. or try feeding her every two or three weeks untill she comes around.
Good luck!

Well i am not exact on her hatch date so she could be late 09.The guy i got her from had low cash income so she had a slow start in life when it came to being fed :(.So when i got her i was VERY happy when she killed a rat the first attempt.Then she continued to gobbled them down until one day she went stupid and refused to eat for 2 months :mad:.So thats her whole story up until now
