    Not eating after switching from tank to rack

    So I switched my Bp to a rack system about a month and a half ago and she hasn't eaten she used to eat no problem! She's lost 10 grams. I know they go on hunger strikes but when should I get worried or how can I get her to eat her f/t rats?

    You really shouldnt worry unless she starts losing significant weight, or other health issues become possible. If you switched to a different home for her she might be stressed so i would say start her off on live again if you havent tried that already.

    im assuming her husbandry is all set?

    Make sure her temps and humidity are correct, and give her a hide if she doesn't have one. Even my big girls use their hides.
