I was wondering if it's possible my BP is afraid of rats. She fed live the first months I had her simply because she was used to it. That's what she was fed with her previous owner. She ate fine for me for the first 10 months I had her, even after having to move. Come October, she stopped eating. I tried frozen in hoped that this would be a good time to switch her and I believe I've even posted about it here. I was eventually just going with the answer that she may be fasting despite being small. Well the weather is warming up already and she's still not eating. She's losing a bit of weight finally and acting active and hungry again, so I'm beginning to worry. She's never been scratched/bitten and every feeding has been tightly supervised. Her husbandry is still on point, I double check it constantly. Every time I try to feed, live or thawed, she flinches at the sight as if she was traumatized or something. The sight of a rat these days just makes her cower and flee. I'm not sure what the issue could be or if this is normal fasting behavior. Is it possible she's scared of them? Like I said, she's never been attacked. She's missed the first strike once or twice, but that's it. She always goes for food instantly when she's eating.
