Hello!

I have a female Piebald that's an interesting feeder... She's fed f/t rats every 5 days and always takes it like she's starving. She has one of the best feeding responses in my collection.

Problem is, she sucks at actually swallowing it. Unless she strikes it by the head, she can't seem to readjust. 2 out of 3 feedings she'll let go, attempt to readjust and find the head, then give up after about an hour.

She was kept on cypress mulch initially. I thought maybe that was causing her issues so I switched her to paper towels. Last night was the same issue.

She's 150g and being offered fuzzy rats. My next feeding I'm going to attempt offering her a couple pinky rats. I'm hoping she'll do better with something a little more bite sized... Trying to angle the rat so she takes it by the head is the only successful thing I've done so far.

When I got her in December she was 100g and put on 50g since then so she's growing and not in any danger of starving but she's way behind her almost 400g sister.

Does anyone have any tips or ideas?
