So my snake hadn't eaten in almost a month. I figured it was just due to the weather change or something and I heard it wasn't uncommon, but she started losing weight and I got worried(430 down to 417).
So over the weekend I went out and picked up a box of small mice and a box of medium mice thinking maybe she just suddenly decided she didn't like the big ones. I figured I'd start small and see if I could at least get her to eat that.
Well turns out that she's become a bit of a shy eater now and the only way she'll eat is if I put the mouse in her hide, then put her back in the tank. She'll go into the hide with the mouse and about 30 minutes later I'll see her actually eating.
The small mice are only about 7-8g each. Way too small for her I know, but I wanted to get something in her. She's now eaten two of them. Should I keep offering more or leave it at that for today?
