She's been on live mice now ever since then(she's an 04 and is 2000g) and is doing great. She's actually about to ovulate soon too :)

Thanks for lettin' me know :) I have no problems feeding him live, if that's what he wants. I just need to find a place that has decent-sized mice!

I know the stress you are feeling:O

Irwin stopped eating for 9 weeks, then he ate on the 10th week, then wouldnt eat the next week. He just ate again for me Monday night so i'm thinking he's coming around. After about 4 weeks I freaked and sent Kara a message. She basically said that he is most likely just doing the horny male thing and then he'll come around when the weather starts to warm up.

When he wasnt eating I was buying him a single small frozen rat a week at Petco and he wouldnt take it. I went up to NERD sunday and picked up 20 small frozen rats, offered him one Monday and the rest is history:D

Guess he just likes those NERD rats!

Good luck with Auryn!
