So this girl has been a sporadic feeder for the past 6ish months, in this time she's eaten a bunch of mice (around 3 mice per feeding every 5 days for around 4 or 5 feedings before I attempted to switch her to rats.) One small rat (live) and one weanling rat (f/t) both rats where a result of scenting the enclosure with mouse bedding. I've since removed her hide box and attempted to feed her 1 medium rat and 1 live mouse, both where denied. About 2 weeks ago she weighed in at 1869 grams. I'm going to give her one more chance to take a med. rat with mouse bedding scenting combined with a couple of tricks that where passed onto me via this forum. If she takes the rat I'll give her a couple months to beef up before pairing her, if she doesn't take it I'm going to pair her to see if she'll eat then.
