Feeding issues

Do you think it could be the enclosure. It's a wild card but the last time she are was when she was at her other enclosure at my house. Although she has never had a problem eating here before. The 1200g rebellion/fast makes sense cause she's 1162g right now and it started at 1234g so I suppose that's what it is. How long do those fasts typically go for or is it completly dependent on the BP?

How long have these fasts lasted for some of you? I just thought I'd get a rough average so I can maybe get some reassurance from it if this goes for awhile

Regarding the pithing....I don't think you should end up with brain goo anywhere. From what I understand you simply pierce the skull with something like a sewing needle. You don't want the brains all over....just the smell.
