Hi,

My 8yo BP has never eaten more than once every week or two. But this past week, after feeding her a medium rat, she went back into strike mode and stayed that way every time I saw her come back. So I got her a small rat 2 days later. She still wasn't satiated, so a couple days later I got her 2 small mice, for old times sake. She gobbled them up in no time and still after days assumes strike position. When she's in that mode, I don't want to open up the cage to handle her because I fear she might bight me as she has once before when waiting for prey like that. What gives? In 8 years I've never seen her with an appetite like this. Is she fueling up for winter hibernation or something? Does she think she can get pregnant soon?

Thanks for any advice.
