Re: Picky Picky Picky
I'm having a similar problem with my 07 girl. She used to suck down f/t rats like a vacuum cleaner. Now she's on a feeding strike. She gets excited when she smells the rat, but then won't eat it. Sometimes I wonder what goes through their heads.

Re: Picky Picky Picky
My male did the same thing for 5 months during breeding season
He eventually snapped out of it and now eats on a regular basis
Basically, as long as they're not showing any signs of significant weight loss, they should be okay =]
If it continues for a long time or you get super concerned, take her to the vet
She should eventually start eating
Cut back on how often you're offering food but continue to offer it

I'm in the same boat with one of my '07 females too. I finally got her back eating again, but she went into shed and hasn't eaten since. She's been driving me crazy with her hunger strike!

I normally feed the live ASFs but I've been thinking about trying a live rat from like PetCo or something... I'd prefer not to go to a mouse... They're too small for her.

Try the mouse just to spark her to eat, then try switching back to what You normally feed.
I learned along time ago just feed them what they will eat! Eating a mouse is better then not eating nothing.
