Yep, it seems the most asked question of them all... and now its my turn...

My son got Coco, a female BP, on 23rd November, the day after her last feed.

We left it until around 5th to 7th December (can't remember exactly) to attempt a feed. She did strike once and I dropped the weener rat. Caught me by surprise. After that she didn't want to know.

Left it a day or two and tried again. This time zero interest.

Anyways we tried again tonight. Did as we have before, but again no success.

Now I have read that BP's are renouned for being fussy eaters, sometimes going weeks, but its now been some 26ish days since her last feed.

We let the rat thaw in the fridge from yesterday afternoon until about 5.30 today. Took it out and left it, in a covered box, on her viv to completely thaw.

Placed it in hot water, in a bag, to warm up... dangled and shook it just above her but again no luck. Even used my hairdryer to heat it.

She is now back in her viv and we've left the rat in there too to see if she takes it during the night.

So the obvious question, is what we are doing right? Is it just because she simply isn't interested?

Any advice, ideas or suggestions etc would be much appreciated.
