Sometimes change just spurs them to eat.
    I have tried mice and she won't touch them. Also, I give her the rats when they are warm, but they sit in her enclosure for awhile till they turn cold, and she won't eat either way. I am wary of trying live with her, first of all because I can't get live rats around here, but secondly I don't want another stubborn live eater who refuses to look twice at frozen. Last year she was pounding f/t rats

    I had one girl go off food for about 9 months. She was about 1500g when she stopped eating and 1400g when she started again. She went up to 2500g in 5 months and has not gone off food since. As long as she is not losing a lot of weight she should come around at some point.
