Guess Who Ate!?

[Shayne]

Yes, my sweet Kitana finally ate after just over 4 months of fasting. For those who aren't familiar, this is my Blade Clown that hasn't eaten since the day I brought her home just over 4 months ago. She was barely over 200g from day 1. Thankfully, she didn't lose much weight but I knew her clock was ticking since she was so young at only 7 months old.

After many attempts, changing cages, new hides, attempting to feed live, I finally found her "hunger strike". Problem was, as far as I can tell, I was leaving the light on so I could monitor her situation just in case the rat would cause harm if she decided to strike. After many failed attempts, I decided to just leave the room dark but sit quietly with her just in case it sounded like things were going bad for my Kitana and you guessed it, SUCCESS! My girl struck within 2 minutes of introducing the live. Needless to say, I'm super excited!

Thanks to every one who added their insight. It's much appreciated.

Hey, some gals insist on dinner with "atmosphere"...now you know. Really, I'm so happy for you, I sure know how this feels!
