    Not eating...

    My champion eater is not eating!

    2' female ball who has never refused a meal before. In the past we have:
    -switched from frozen to live to pre-killed without issues
    -fed during a shed without issues
    -switched from mice to rats and back without issues

    I rearranged the cage about 3 days ago, adding 2 hides and some plastic plants to make her feel a little more protected. It apparently has the opposite effect because she refused to eat last night.

    My question is do I wait a week or two for her to get acclimated to the change? Or do I change it back to what it was?

    Thanks

    Its normal for them to refuse if you make big changes to their enclosures. Wait a week and try again.

    This same thing happened to me when I changed enclosures on my girl. It's winter too, which makes them even less likely to eat. Keep trying every week and if you think she's gone too long, try switching the enclosure back. When I put mine back to her original tank she started eating right away again. :-)
