Feeding Issuses???

[simon17]

Well guy's what's the craic with ya's?

I've a slight worrie over my BP at the min! She has now refused her 3rd meal lately in the last month. Everything is fine with the viv setup and heating and all are all good that way, she also seems ok too, very active and moving about and flicking of tongue.

I don't think she's going into shed either (but maybe), though I thought she looked abit slimmer the nite. The first refusal she took it, but just didnt eat it, the 2nd she had got half way the rat and then left it. you could tell she tired to eat it. And tonight she showed interest then nothing and have tired leaving it in over nite and leaving feeding bewteen gaps.

Cheers

Is she active during the day or at night?

If she's constantly wandering her cage during the day, it's a sign of stress. As the saying goes, "a hiding ball is a happy ball". Mine hides all day and only comes out at night once or twice to check out what I'm doing.

How many times have you tried to feed her in the past few weeks? If you repeatedly offer food within a day or two of them refusing that can stress her out too.

Yeah she would be like the way you said yours is. Shes defo not stressed. from last feed to 1st refusal was 10 days, then from here to 2nd 12 days then 4 days with some thing smaller.
